Hello, my name is Jenni Powell and I am excited.
For those not familiar, I’ve been producing and creating in the digital media space since 2006. I started out in the fan community of lonelygirl15 (Rip Bree) and went on to work on The Guild and many other early scripted web series. I went on to produce the Emmy Award Winning The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Emma Approved. I currently am a producer on The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy and an Executive Producer and Co-Creator on Adi Shankar’s Gods and Secrets. I have a very deep love and passion for what I do and the digital media space as a whole.
But I also have another love. One I keep close to my heart, but that anyone who really knows me has witnessed the great excitement and fulfillment it brings me. I have even converted some people...

The latest film led by online video stars is Man Up, and as of May 28th, it is available through Video On Demand. The film, which stars Kevin Wu as a slacker who must learn how to become a dad and Justin Chon as his crazy best friend, can be purchased for $9.99 or rented for half that price.
In Man Up, announced in March 2015, Martin (played by Wu, who is known as KevJumba on YouTube) must quickly mature after his girlfriend (Galadriel Stineman) reveals she is pregnant. Off the Dock, a digital studio run by production company Lakeshore Entertainment, produced the film, and Supergravity Pictures, a recently-launched studio that works with YouTube stars, handled distribution. Chon, whose film roles include Twilight, directed.

Lakeshore Entertainment, which earlier this week unveiled plans to boost its film production pipeline, is targeting the YouTube generation with a full-service digital studio.
Off The Dock will finance, produce, acquire and distribute digital influencer-led content in a bid to free up the fiercely guarded disposable income of Millennials and their younger Generation Z counterparts.
“We are excited to blend Lakeshore’s knowledge and skills gained from its 20-year track record of traditional film-making and distribution with the new world of digital influencers,” said CFO Marc Reid. “We think each world can elevate the other.”
The first film is Kinetic Films’ Man Up from and starring Justin Chon with Us comedian and YouTube celebrity Kevin Wu (pictured) aka KevJumba.
Man Up centres on two 19-year-old friends who are forced to prepare for the unintended arrival of a baby.

YouTuber KevJumba (real name Kevin Wu) is nearing three million subscribers on his main channel, but his greatest achievement stands several thousand miles away. After raising money for a charity called The Supply, Wu has made a positive impact on the Kenyan community, and his YouTube now lends its name to its very own high school. As he writes in the Huffington Post, Wu first became involved with The Supply when the nonprofit posted a video where children urged their favorite YouTuber to visit Kenya and become involved in humanitarian efforts. Not one to back down from a difficult task, Wu accepted, and thus began a series of videos shot in Kenya where Wu worked with children from The Supply. But Wu's videos weren't meant to simply uplift spirits. Unlike most other YouTubers, Wu does not keep any of the profits from his secondary vlogging channel, JumbaFund. Instead, he donates...

Today Yomyomf launched a promo video "Bananapocalypse" which stars KevJumba, Higa, and Chester See in what could be best described as a massive pillow fight without the pillows. The crazy video features appearances from Jessica Alba, Tyrese, Sung Kang (Fast Five), Masi Oka, Wayne Brady, Harry Shum Jr. (Glee), and a bunch of puppets. "This is where the magic is made and all of Google's money is spent—on cool stuff like Jessica Alba washing a car with her sexy friends," KevJumba says in the video. Lin, whose directing credits also include MTV's Better Luck Tomorrow,Universal's Fast & Furious and episodes of the NBC comedy Community, created the Yomyomf channel out of YouOffendMeYouOffendMyFamily.com, an Asian American pop culture...
