Max Fosh is a RU-vidr who makes videos for a living. He shares experiences from the course of his career, and gives us some insight on how to be better storytellers and content creators. Hi, my name is Max Fosh and I am a RU-vidr. Well, that is what I am to everyone apart from my immediate family. They would probably class me as unemployed. I have 1.4million subscribers on my channel and my videos have accrued over 350million views worldwide.
I started making videos during my final year at University. It started a series called StreetSmart in which I interviewed students on nights out. It was ‘breathtakingly fresh content’ which cemented me as a ‘visionary pioneer’ of the man-on-the-street genre (these could be real quotes, I’m not sure).
The real reason I started my own series was mainly because the Uni TV channel already had enough presenters on their show, so I started my own.
Following the first episode filmed in October 2017, I relentlessly made StreetSmart episodes and I made approximately 25 episodes before leaving Uni. After graduating, I took StreetSmart on tour round 14 UK Universities.
Following this, I worked in a bar for 5 months while working on the channel. I met two RU-vidrs called Zac and Jay during this time, and in February 2018 we made a video together which went truly viral; I gained 50,000 subscribers virtually overnight. Since then, I have grown steadily and have the greatest job in the world. Being professionally silly.
