Our world is noisy. Cutting through in media takes replay-value, sticky ideas and strategy - three things my company (Papertown) has become known for since 2008, because of our network and commitment to our clients (incl. Samsung, Kia Motors, HP, Nestle, Sony Music Group). Great content isn't enough. Let's talk about your plan! Say hello
I got my start as a camera op/editor in Nashville when I was 15. Homeschooling gave me the flexibility to be on set whenever, and I fell in love with all aspects of storytelling. The advent of YouTube brought viral attention to my digital shorts, placing my channel in the Top-100 for the many years I posted actively. While I'm perhaps best-known as a YouTuber, I've served clients of Papertown most consistently. As a result, I've enjoyed what some have called an eclectic and non-linear career path consisting of writing, acting, directing and producing. I'm also a musician, history enthusiast, and Dad to three.
Papertown (formerly Julian Smith Productions, circa 2002) is the culmination of my production background and the creative work that followed after my success on YouTube. It has allowed me to collaborate with my favorite brands and biggest heroes. I love this work. (And yes, Papertown has maintained a website, historically. But it was recently hacked and now is rebranding. A proper website will be back soon but for now, you'll find plenty of its work below.)
