How Markiplier Made a Movie Hollywood Couldn’t Ignore

Our guest today is Mark Fishbach, better known as Markiplier. We sat down with him... at the Fox Studios lot in Los Angeles in front of over 650 creators during our event, Press Publish LA. We threw this event because we are at a true convergence moment right now between YouTube and Hollywood. And we couldn't think of a better person to sit down with than Markiplier. He's a YouTuber... who uploaded his first video... over 15 years ago. But more recently, he made headlines after self-financing, directing, and starring in his indie horror film, Iron Lung. The success of the film turned heads in Hollywood. We get into what this moment on YouTube means, what it takes to go from YouTuber to filmmaker, and what the future of Hollywood may look like. Before we get into the conversation, I just want to say a big thank you to YouTube for coming in as a title sponsor for PressPublish LA... having them back this event and believe in what we're building was truly a full circle moment.
