“The projection of Tom Cruise’s last film in Cannes was not as planned,” says Anton Racca, YouTubeur, followed by 2.1 million subscribers on the platform and 5.7 million in Tiktok.
While the cameraman waiting patiently in the premises of premises of Impossible mission 8Tom Cruise reaches the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, which takes place from May 13 to 24. A fanfarria decides to play the famous music of cult films. The capture, the speaker does not work.
Anecdotes like this, Anton Racca has a rope. For four years, the star of the platforms has surveyed the famous red carpet of the festival, its brightness and its nights. In the scene, it is fun by returning the back of the event to its subscribers infiltrating the nights, a false selfie is made with Tom Cruise and, above all, multiply the interviews.
“Two different worlds”
And if the 28 -year -old creator is a regular in the event, his first participation in 2022 maintains a special flavor.
Therefore, everything accelerates for influencer. The studies and other distributors contact him on all sides to share the news of the cinema of his latest productions.
“The notoriety in the networks allowed me to meet many professionals in the community. It is clearly a springboard,” he observes. So much that in 2023, an operation paid for the promotion of Last trip of Romain Quirot allows you to obtain a role in Apacheof Romain Quirot.
An achievement for this movie fan, which has produced short films for ten years on YouTube or Tiktok. “The cinema and networks are two different worlds. It is not enough to put an influencer in a movie to work. You need a real reflection behind,” Blid said. “Usually, my subscribers who are under 15 years of age see few films. I find it great to be able to bring them to a more classic entertainment and show them what it is.”
Fictions that blur the borders
However, when it was launched in 2015 on platforms, their first videos did not immediately find their audience. It is only with Tiktok’s explosion during the confinement he manages to unravel. “I was editor of Greg Guillotin (another YouTubeur, note of the editor), but with Covid, I lost my work. So I started publishing every day,” he recalls.
Start sharing some humorous sketches. Then, he quickly decides to produce short films to touch his true passion, cinema. “At first, I wanted to make videos with many ambitions. But I quickly realized that it was impossible to be alone,” continues the cameraman.
It is not enough to begin the desire of the creator who decides to make short films with the media by hand. “I learned to handle different software, administer music or make miniatures,” positive in the cameraman. A knowledge that will be particularly useful for him since the young man now specializes in the creation of courts and media on YouTube.
Then it is fun by mixing fiction and reality in specific formats of social networks, such as Vlogs. “I connected my two passions, make videos on the Internet and fiction,” he confirms.
He creates, for example, a horror fiction around the loss of a phone, embarks on a fiction in three parts around a mysterious search for the treasure and discovers a haunted board game. For a while, many thought that the stories they organized were true … before discovering the realization or being sharpened by other Internet users.
A blurry surprised, but does not seem to disturb most users who request and subscribe in mass. So much so that Anton Racca lives 100% of the 2020 content creation.
A great next project
Your greatest pride? The saga around Timothy’s mother. It all started with a video where Anton is “confused” in front of his study by Timothy’s mother, one of his subscribers. The latter says that his son can no longer sleep due to his videos. Then he affirms 10,000 euros in damages. The particularly insistent woman is beginning to come to the creator several times. Until the story becomes the horror movie …
Of course, this is a fiction. Anton will make the story in about fifty short videos and three media. “It was a great narrative arch (…) the subscribers loved this series. A priori, the mother has a burlesque side. But she hides dark secrets,” he said. And in fact, success is there. The video “I discovered the truth about Timothy’s mother” borders 4 million visits.
A first success before its “great project” of feature films that you prefer to keep secret at this time.
Who knows, after the influential in Cannes’ red carpet, perhaps a film produced by a YouTubeur will be part of the official selection of the festival.
