Creator mentors Colin and Samir want to turn their followers’ ideas into productions
Creator mentors Colin and Samir teamed up with Adobe to fund a creator's project; the first step towards the duo's new production era.
Colin Rosenblum and Samir Chaudry, the influential creator duo with over 1.6 million followers, are launching a new producer era. They have introduced a sponsored creator program called the Big Idea Fund, aimed at funding projects from within their community. This week, the duo, in collaboration with Adobe, presented a $25,000 grant to YouTube creator Jackson Hughens.
Hughens, who has approximately 670 subscribers, will use the funds to develop a five-part documentary series on YouTube, focusing on a family's adoption of five children with Down syndrome. Adam Wescott, CEO and co-founder of Home Game Studios and Mind Chatter Media, emphasized the importance of leveraging existing community and relationships to cultivate original ideas and talent, irrespective of one's status in the industry.
