Michael W. Dean, author of "$30 Film School" and other books.

My YouTube channel is not for everybody. (Like most of what I do.) Many people watch a couple of my videos and say "that's too weird!" and leave. Very smart and creative people sometimes "get it" and subscribe.

I write for the O'Reilly Digital Media site. Do a lot of other things for fun and for a living.

I just finished co-writing a book for O'Reilly called "YouTube: An Insider's Guide to Climbing the Charts." I wrote it with YouTube star and all-around great guy, Alan "Fallofautumndistro" Lastufka. The book comes out the third week of November.
