We live in an age where anyone can enjoy creating and sharing videos. In the world of short videos, unknown talents are creating stimulating content with innovative ideas that professional creators wouldn’t think of. They are entertaining many users. Actor, director, producer. They may not be called by those titles yet. They will likely acquire the skills to create TV dramas and movies in the future. We want to create a place where these rough gems can shine as they are, where they can meet the next generation of stars and together create the future of entertainment. Simply add hashtags to your posts on TikTok or Instagram. Enjoying your daily life of creating videos can be the first step towards achieving your dream of becoming a top creator.
