We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Devin Bean. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Devin below.
Devin, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s start with a fun one – what’s something you believe that most people in your industry (or in general) disagree with?
I believe we all are here for a reason. I believe we all have to love and support one another no matter what. Doesn’t matter your race, gender, sexual orientation none of that matters. We all have to support and take care of each other. There is so much negativity in the industry, so many bad people. I just want to spread positivity and love everyone.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I started playing streaming about 3 years ago when the pandemic hit. I felt like it was a great way to connect with new people and socialize during such a dark time in our world. I’ve been playing video games since I was in diapers so I thought man this is a good idea for me! I started filmmaking back when I was about 11 years old. It all started with me, my older brother and our skateboards. Watching old Skate videos on YouTube and buying dvds from our local skate shop was a huge inspiration. We ended up making our own YouTube channel, had a big following in the skate scene and then we kind of grew out of skateboarding and filming. I stopped due to a bad back injury. I fell and screwed up 3 discs in my back, which led me down a different path for my adrenaline rush fix! I started shooting short films, mostly just private ones I haven’t shared publicly YET! I also got into paranormal investigating which we should have our docuseries coming out soon. Covid put a huge hault on everything.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
I think just being able to think about my ideas, get the ones I really love and bring them to life the best I can is the best part for me. I look at my ideas and dreams as fish swimming in a pond, all it takes is that one big catch and you’re rewarded big!
Can you share your view on NFTs? (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)
I don’t like them, they’re so bad for the environment! We gotta keep our planet healthy, especially for our kids and grandkids and all of that!
