How YouTube Destroyed Us… aaaand now we're back.


Renny + Boston

Hey Reader,

We once built a YouTube channel to over 100,000 subscribers. Viral videos, brand deals, even a six-figure sponsorship — we thought we’d “made it.”

But then YouTube changed the rules. Overnight, our views tanked, our income vanished, and we were scrambling to keep it all together.

This week, we’re finally telling the full story in our new vlog — not just about how we survived, but about the two golden rules we learned that every aspiring influencer must know.

If you’ve ever dreamed of being a content creator, filmmaker, or influencer, this is the advice we wish someone had given us.

Of course, Rocky was practical! (We've done our time with lots of practical puppets on set and it's truly special to see these characters come to life.)

Hey Reader! It’s Renny here. When I first started booking work regularly as an actress, I realized something pretty quickly: the producer had all the power on set. In fact, one of my first crew jobs was assisting an Oscar-winning producer on a feature film. That was the first time I said to myself, “I want to be a producer.” The only problem? I had no idea what that actually meant. Let’s be honest, “producer” can be a pretty loose term, and there are a lot of different kinds of producers out...

Next Project Update Hey Reader! As the votes for our next project have been coming in, we have also been workshopping the script for the doppelgänger project, "Significant Others," through a Sundance Collab Course, and we just got our first round of notes! We are pretty stoked with the reactions so far and can't wait to share the project with you.
