Our first Creators Spotlight shines on Grace Randolph

Here at Next New, we’re confident that when it comes to shining talent on the Internet, the people we work with shine the most blindingly bright.

It’s for this reason, that we’ve launched a new web series with the express intent of highlighting to the world at large, the sorts of tenacious and dedicated personalities that find success in the universe of online video.

It’s a common thread behind the hundreds of millions of views; the lone producer, the obsessive comment-checker, the drive to improve and expand with every passing episode. It’s these traits that separate the folks who post one video and give up, from the ones who slog through hundreds before finally making a hit and finding their audience.

These producers know talent is earned, not bestowed from on-high. Talent is the culmination of thousands of tiny failures. Talent is a painful process, but a process that, in the end, always pays off.

Grace is truely exceptional. Through persistence she’s moved from filming every week on the inclimate streets of Times Square, to working out deals with major chains that allow her sole access to film inside their hallowed halls. From Monday to Sunday, she’s putting together the blocks that build her Beyond The Trailer empire, not with the firey prodding of some angry overseer, but with her own determination, blood, sweat and (possibly?) tears.

We’re honored to have her on board, and even more honored that she was the first to proudly call herself a Next New Creator.

Come back every Wednesday for another profile, and learn more about the people who are the stars of today, the superstars of tomorrow.
