It’s important to continue showing up and supporting, especially when the cameras stop showing up and the headlines shift away from this.

If you or your family/friends want your story documented, please let me know. No charge at all. I share all footage I capture. It’s important to have a digital archive of what happened.

I love my YouTube community, and so grateful I got to meet so many people at the Creator Collective event 🥳

The comments I’ve been getting lately have been SO positive. I appreciate y’all!

Also I didn’t have the chance to connect with everyone at the event so if you were there, say what’s up and let’s grab a coffee ☕️

just a chill guy tryna make it on youtube 👨🏽‍💻

When I was putting together this year’s YouTube Rewind graphic, a few things stuck out to me…

1. My top performers are almost all recent videos (within the past 3 months). This new content brought in a lot of new subscribers, specifically tech-focused content curious people, which is good because that’s the audience I’m going after. My goal is to become the “fun teacher” of content creation. 👨🏽‍🏫

2. I published WAY less content, yet numbers went up. I was more focused on delivering a higher-quality video, period. More storyboarding, more research, more editing, I honed in on my craft. I used to publish Shorts, just because… no real reason other than I felt pressure to upload every day. Only to realize I don’t need to. 🎞️

3. The podcast honestly exceeded my expectations 💀 is a crazy concept brought to life, and I have so so so much more planned for this. If you want to be on it, hit the link in my bio.

Cheers to a solid year. 🤙🏽

I rotate out bags depending on the day. Here’s what you’ll find on a “backpack day” 🙂‍↕️

Gear isn’t as important as the story you’re telling. Everyone’s got a 4K camera in their pocket nowadays, but what are you gonna do with it? 🎞️

Go create something awesome today!

Pro with iPhone 16 vs Amateur with Pro Gear - who wins? 🎞️

🤙🏽 In our first commercial series, we shot two concepts for and highlighted the Prologue, their latest EV.

was equipped with all of my professional video gear. For this shoot, he primarily used the GH6 and shot with a 10-25 f/1.7 lens - the same setup I used during my time working for Porsche and Ferrari. 👀

📱 I was limited to exclusively the iPhone 16 Pro Max. I have experience on my side, but a phone has big limitations compared to my cinema rig.

The full video will drop on YT on Monday at 12 PM CST - we documented the whole shoot, including the unexpected turns and twists the day had in store for us. 🎞️

The Cove™️

I’ve officially titled this exact seat at .cafe as The Cove. Best seat in the house. Unless it’s raining. Or snowing. Or tornado. Even then, it might still be the best.

Influencer event was lit. 🤙🏽 got the angles 📸

Who is Original Dante?

If I had to keep it simple, a St. Louis-based content creator.

I have collaborated with a variety of businesses on my channel, such as Arch Apparel, Schnucks, The Selfie Room, Dapper Gents Grooming, and more. I regularly collaborate with local creatives on Instagram with the intention of collaborating on YouTube videos in the future.

A huge focus of my YouTube channel is to put a spotlight on the awesome things happening in our community that deserve a lot of attention. St. Louis is ranked highly, sometimes number one, on crime ranking lists and that’s what we’re often times known for. Because of that, people outside of St. Louis often don’t see past that and miss out on the amazing food, beer, sports, and people that make up the community that we know and love.

Let’s chat. Whether you’re a local creative looking to network or a brand interested in creating something awesome together, I’d love to hear from you.
