YouTuber Markiplier's movie made over $50 million. Here's his advice for creators looking to level up.
YouTube creator Mark "Markiplier" Fischbach thinks more influencers should fight to maintain creative control when they work on large projects.
YouTuber Mark Fischbach, better known as Markiplier, recently released an independent film titled "Iron Lung" that grossed over $50 million worldwide. The 37-year-old creator hopes that more content creators will attempt to enter Hollywood without giving up creative control. In an interview with Business Insider, Fischbach explained that YouTubers have become a powerful entity with a significant influence on American TV screens, reaching over 14% market share.
He believes that creators, who are used to adapting to new formats and possess a DIY mindset, can learn the necessary skills to succeed in traditional media. However, Fischbach acknowledges that the process can be challenging, as distributing a film in theaters or securing a TV show deal requires different expertise. Despite the difficulties, Fischbach remains motivated by the creative process and his desire to maintain creative control over his projects.
