Talking with Steven Greenstreet
Sherilynn Macale (SM):�Have you got a personal curiosity about Occupy that drove you to definitely start your Tumblr
Steven Greenstreet (SG): I viewed a brief documentary on Occupy Wall Street known as The Following Throughout . It had been an attractive and incredibly informative video. Speaking about this with my pal, I said: Individuals interviews with hot chicks didn t hurt either. My pal immediately stated, Dude, let s opt for that. Let s create a video that's ENTIRELY comprised of hot chicks at Occupy Wall Street. 24 hrs later, I required a train to New You are able to City, shot for 3 hrs, and also the relaxation is history.
SM: Why do you consider your Tumblr is especially appealing
SG: Well, clearly, if my Tumblr site was known as The Wonder and also the Intelligence from the Feminine Presence at Occupy Wall Street , nobody could be going to the page. And individuals who did go to the page, could be individuals I'd make reference to as the choir . Individuals already offered around the message of OWS. I needed Everybody to determine our title and click on it. From liberal progressives to apathetic frat boys.
Hot Chicks is nearly challenging towards the potential viewer. It can make them say I ll function as the judge of this and they click watching. And, a minimum of the recording, is really a superbly beneficial and inspiring piece. So, I ve arrived at past the target demographic making them watch something they'd haven't viewed before. Mission accomplished.
SM: When did it becomes clear that Hot Chicks of Occupy Wall Street began getting popular
SG:�When I saw large blogs and guides investing print space and air time for you to discuss the Tumblr site and just how much it upset them, which was after i understood we'd truly gone viral. When individuals on multilple web sites start speaking about how exactly much they hate you, you ve arrived at top of the echelon of success.
Should you take a look at my resume, this isn t the very first time I ve ruffled some down having a film or video. I indicate my first film This Divided Condition and my last film 8: The Mormon Proposition as two classic good examples where people obsessively attempted to discredit my work or even the films themselves. Newspaper head lines and TV news reviews continued for days. And, thus, the flicks grew to become viral speaking points. The old saying goes Haters gonna hate . Well, I only say Haters gonna help.
SM:�Let s discuss your preferred posts. Have you got any
SG: No contest, my personal favorite posts would be the voices from the hot chicks themselves as well as their families. One publish comes from the Egyptian lady during my video and also the other comes from mom of among the ladies who seems both in my video as well as in an image on my small site. They absolutely loved things i tried. Plus they saw my true intentions: To celebrate the energy and sweetness from the women taking up Zuccotti Park.
SM:�Perhaps you have really been to the Occupy occasions, and have you got any memorable tales to talk about regarding your encounters there
SG:�Filming hot chicks was my first and just time to the Occupy movement. And given recent risks delivered to me from crazy individuals who think this is more productive to battle Steven Greenstreet than Goldman Sachs, I would sit that one out for some time.
SM:�Where would you call at your Tumblr going And do you consider Occupy will finish in the near future, and exactly what do you intend on doing together with your Tumblr when it will or doesn't
SG: I ve already had numerous Tumblr fans posting their very own photos from Occupy occasions round the country and that i ve submitted these phones the website. I ll still publish photos and updates for some time but, to tell the truth, this complete factor already went far above my anticipation. We'd a concept and that we leaped in the chance. Simply because idea flourish right into a viral brand that s making waves around the world, well shucks, that simply doesn t happen every single day, will it
