    something that kane said at 3:31 really caught my attention:
    “people are so caught up on what’s canon and what’s not - it’s weird, like i don’t think it matters. i think everything is canon to itself.”
    this is the exact mindset that i truly believe _needs_ to be more prevalent in all fandoms. let people look at their favorite media the way they want to, it’ll encourage creativity and diversity of thought. i’m glad kane didn’t let other peoples’ opinions guide his art

    His short video was utterly captivating and brilliantly made, I saw it a year ago and it still sits with me. Even my 16 year old son can’t believe I know about it as he’s played levels on steam when i mentioned they’re making a movie about it. He spun right out that this old fart loves it.

As we grow up and mature, our minds don't take us to fairy land anymore, though we may still have the creativity, we have a life to live and sometimes your life calls for you to let go of your creativity, there have been plenty of artists, and writers that are adults, not only is it because they have the ideas, but also because they are in a position to be able to pursue their dream, and they have studied and honed their craft. Art is a science in itself, after all.

      Doing well in school is still a solid insurance if your creative job doesn't pan out. Dan Salvato, the guy who made DDLC, Smallant, pointcrow and some other streamers all reached higher level education so that if their current career don't work out, they still have something to fall back on.
      Stay in school, unless you are really confident that you alone have something valuable that absolutely nobody else in the world has, which is likely untrue.

    Awesome animations and awesome interview! Though he didn't create The Backrooms. It's a concept created in 4chan in 2019 by an anonymous user inspired by the liminal spaces concept. Since then, several people have created a lot of lore, levels, characters, items and creatures for it, giving them their epic current state. This resulted with several content creators producing awesome stories, art, animations and even videogames based in the work of all of these creators.

    I'm so impressed by how he always manages to just drop short of risking coming across as pretentious, which given the viral popularity of his works at such a young age is such an important thing. He's incredibly well-spoken and talks about his work in the way you'd expect from any current, well-established filmmaker or director. I can easily imagine him becoming something like the next Ari Aster in the future.

    My favorite details from this video are that Kane started his vision from the Backrooms because he was essentially bored and needed something to do, and found inspiration in the Backrooms concept. And as that developed, he didn't let himself conform to genres, the opinions of others or how something is made, he just lets his mind roam free. Lastly, he finds passion in his work and not in the money or fame it brings. He just likes sharing his work. We need more creatives like this in the limelight, and I'm honestly inspired to go put out some work of my own, especially being the same age as Kane.

Additionally, I *am* going to take his age as an inspiration to get off my 35 year old butt and start pursuing the creative ideas I have bouncing around in my brain. I am far from considering myself anywhere in the same ballpark of his skill and knack for this stuff, but I've definitely been holding myself back with talking myself out of even trying, and that's the worst thing you can do.

    I think the main thing that stands out about him is his massive drive to create. So many people end up just consuming, or at least not making unique things, which i cant imagine ever doing. Just making things is an incredible feeling, its awesome hes managed to find success and its clear that hes very talented

      I think most people are driven to create, but most people don't have wealthy supportive parents who foster their creativity.

      @@Tubeytime i have plenty of friends with time and money to create, yet end up not. And im sure privilege plays a role, it plays a role in almost everything, but i cant really be upset that someone like kane has parents with the money to support him. Very weird reply lol, not sure what your goal here is

      i find him very relatable, ive always enjoyed the long process of creating and learning and eventually ending up with something finished for people to try out. So much that i enjoy it more than actually playing games alot of the time, and once I'm finished a project i gotta start a new one.

    I was a fan of the Backrooms about a year before Kane’s first video, and I came across his first Backrooms video when it only had a few hundred thousand views, seeing how far he and this Creepypasta have come is really cool, especially considering the fact he’s only 2 years older than me

    I'm so glad you did this interview, Anthony! I've been part of the group of people who finds the Backrooms fascinating without going insane with it and learning the wiki front to back.
    And I'm super happy to learn more about Kane, specially with the movie coming up!
    Great work, today, as always!

    I love The Backrooms, like no matter how many clones it gets they're all so creative it's like a hub of different rooms and each one is a person making their own, it's so freaking cool. One of my favourite creepypastas!

    Aha enjoyed this! Excellent interview! 🔥🔥 I'd love to see Anthony interview some:
    - *smaller game developers* with games that got followings out of nowhere /
    - *indie film directors* doing things differently /
    - interesting *music artists/creatives* breaking into the mainstream without major labels, etc.
    I think someone like *"Ren"* (once he's finished his medical treatment in Canada) would be a phenomenal interview imo! 👍
