From documenting his life as a production assistant on a children’s television show to walking down the red carpet at the 94th Annual Oscars, twenty three year old Reece Feldman’s life has changed quite dramatically over the last two years.
More commonly known as @guywithamoviecamera, Feldman is an active content creator on “FilmTok”, the self-named subcategory of the video sharing platform TikTok, posting film and television related content for over 650,000 followers.
After graduating from Tulane University in 2020 with a degree in Communications, Feldman used his previous production internship experience to secure work with Spoke Studios in New York City, where he was a production assistant on the show Kevin Hart presents Lyft Comics and children’s show, Operation Awesome. While working on Operation Awesome, Feldman was inspired to start posting his work experience on TikTok.
It started with “day in my life” style videos detailing his life as a production assistant, and as an early follower of Reece myself, his energy and passion for the film industry was immediately palpable from his content.
And others noticed just like I did.
He started to garner a community of people who were just as interested to learn about the industry as he was to share it with them, and the eager relationship between creator and follower only made his online presence grow.
But Feldman does not only post day in the life or behind the scenes content. Since growing his following, he posts various videos still centered around the singular subject of the film industry. Some examples include:
By offering a variety of film related content, his success on TikTok started to transcend into his job opportunities as well, with productions intending to hire him for their social media teams over being a simple production assistant.
"That’s exactly what I want to be doing … paving that road between movies and the people watching them so that they become more accessible and so that the actors and the crew feel like people. I want to make the entertainment industry more open so that it feels more attainable for those aspiring to be in it or for those who are simply just interested!" - Reece Feldman
Now, only two years later, Reece has graced the red carpet of the 94th Annual Oscars.
By utilizing hashtags relevant to his topic, asking for follower questions at the end of his videos and in the description of his posts, and responding enthusiastically to all the kind comments he’s received, Feldman was able to grow his account into what it is today.
Even on Instagram, Feldman is garnering interaction and responses from his following through his use of story polls. Though his Instagram has significantly less of a following than his TikTok with 19.3k followers, he still regularly posts content still in line with his content on TikTok as a content creator in the film industry.
