Swords, Movie Fights & Murder Dresses with Jill Bearup (Ep 66)

His name is Graenolf and he makes weird skits happen on YouTube. Before that he made gaming videos - building an audience of over 400,000 subscribers before turning his attention away from listicle videos and towards short comedy videos in 2018. As seemingly drastic as the change was, his new videos still focused mostly on video game culture and references, but steadily, over time, Graenolf introduced a broader range of subjects to his content. His audience approved and the channel has grown to over 800,000 subscribers with 170,000,000 video views and a wonderfully unpredictable stream of quirky videos and more serious content like Callback - a short film which was released just last month. Graenolf join us on the podcast to discuss acting, comedy, short films and YouTube.
