We just got back from the very first Camp Film Fest in Austin, Texas — a bold new experiment bringing together internet creators, filmmakers, and real-life community. In this episode, we unpack the experience of attending the festival, talk about what made it electric, and share exclusive moments from our interview with the festival’s founders, Max and Simon.

The Camp Film Fest was built by Creator Camp in partnership with Patreon and featured 9 first-time directors making their debut films. From surreal shorts to a full-length feature, the weekend was packed with creativity.

We talk about:

- Why this wasn’t just a bridge to Hollywood — it’s its own highway

- Behind-the-scenes insights on the Anthem video and festival programming

- The ethos of Creator Camp

- Our quick one-word reactions to the films

- Why in-person experiences matter more than view counts

Subscribe for weekly doses of inspiring creators and internet gems.

Until 6/5, you can check out the films that debuted at Camp Film Fest at their Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/cw/creatorcamp
