Brandon Li
Brandon Li is a nomadic filmmaker who turned a Sony mirrorless and a one-way ticket into a career. Former MTV 'True Life' producer turned solo travel-doc director, his short films for clients like Nike, BMW and Cathay Pacific have been picked by Vimeo Staff, BBC, National Geographic, TIME and the Smithsonian. He runs Unscripted Studio, an online film school built around the idea that you learn cinema by shipping films, not by watching tutorials.
Peter McKinnon
Peter McKinnon is a Toronto-based photographer, cinematographer, and YouTube creator with nearly 6 million subscribers, known for his cinematic visual style and fast-paced, coffee-fueled tutorials. A former magician and Ellusionist Production Manager turned self-taught filmmaker, he built one of YouTube's most distinctive photography channels from a spare bedroom, won the 2019 Shorty Award for Breakout YouTuber of the Year and the 2020 Streamy Award for Cinematography, and had his landscape photography minted on official Canadian currency by the Royal Canadian Mint. Beyond tutorials, he has launched his own multi-tool for photographers, multiple Lightroom preset packs, a signature coffee blend with James Coffee Co., and the 'Pete's Pirate Life' EDC brand.
