#4 - Cameron Sun | Filmmaking, Career on YouTube, and Creative Inspirations
Cameron Sun is a filmmaker and a YouTuber who has amassed almost 1.5 million subscribers. He was born in Boston, raised in Shang Hai, and then came back to New York during his High School and University years.
He specializes in creating skits around superheroes and their powers, all gathering millions of views per episode, with one, in particular, about the x men’s wolverine that garnered 147 million views. We're here to find out his system in creating viral content.
Curious Asians create is a podcast where I speak with high-performing Asian creatives across all disciplines about psychology, philosophy, creativity/routine, and self-improvement with the overarching theme centering on the premise that being creative can allow us to be more "childlike". And I think that can help a lot of people with mental distress (depression, anxiety, etc.) because we're immersing ourselves in a state of flow and curiosity.
Creativity is a skill set we can all cultivate that enables us to foster a deeper relationship with ourselves, allowing us to be truly irreplaceable human beings. Let's learn from these modern Artists how they do it.
