Meet The Crew!!

Patreon, meet the wonderful human beings we are able to work with thanks to all of you! (Not an exaggeration - your pledges go directly to paying them. 💸)

Most of you have heard us talk about Leah, Martin, Dustin, Tania & Faye - they are the INCREDIBLE crew we've been working with through Season 6 of RiVERSE Reacts.

Leah first introduced us to reaction videos (who remembers Lady K's channel??? 🙋‍♂️) and helped us start this series back in 2018 - RiVERSE Reacts would not exist without her. It has been a WHIRLWIND with Leah since then, from the incredible growth on our channel, traveling to Korea, collabs with k-pop idols, music videos, virtual concerts, and soooo much other content. Our presence online is hugely thanks to Leah's creative vision & her amazing work ethic. We can't even begin to express how grateful we are to her.

Dustin has been with us SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING, and has gone on to do a lot of other really cool vlog & behind-the-scenes content over the years. His presence is so consistent and solid, we always know we can count on Dustin to be there quietly but effectively working hard. And he's actually low-key hilarious!!!! Y'all never hear his voice, but trust us when we say, he's so funny!

This year, we were able to expand our team to include Martin as main camera operator, editor, and social media videographer. This guys works a lottttt of hours for RiVERSE, in between other gigs & working on his own content - we don't know how he keeps up with it all!

Tania & Faye are our amazing Production Assistants who do... all the things on set! From lugging equipment up and down stairs, to setting up backdrops & lights, to dressing the set, to organizing the craft table, to holding the boom mic, to helping us with wardrobe, to holding the camera for Patreon behind-the-scenes - EVERYTHING that needs to be done, these two are there with smiles and the best energy!

For this special Season 7 Intro shoot, we also had a lot of crew members we haven't worked with before but who all BLEW US AWAY with their skills, competence, and incredible attitudes. We cannot stress enough what a pleasant and positive space that set was and how much of a difference that made for RiVERSE as artists to be able to have fun doing what we do! We are so grateful to all of them and cannot wait to work with them again!!
