Hi, my name is Cristyan a.k.a. elcrysto, I’m a Music Video and Storyteller Director from Venezuela currently located in Miami, Florida, and my creative pursuit is (Not gonna lie), besides to improving my craft everyday and eventually get into the film industry, is also to gain some recognition in social media in the meantime I want to get these things from Asterisk Create: 1. The secret sauce of content creation that helps me grow on my niche 2. Make valuable connections with other fellow creatives 3. Power my personal brand as well as my content creation company For fun, I like to: 1. Play guitar (I'm also a musician) 2. Starting to get some love for sports cars 3. Expand the boundaries of AI filmaking, advertisements and workflows Desktop and Gear.

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks lately so I haven’t been around lately, but today is my EP’s release date and I’m so excited!! The aesthetic of this project is based on the renaissance and the deluxe version of it is called purgatory so I made these pieces for it! (The paintings are Caravaggio paintings which is technically the transition into the baroque period but whaaateveeerrr) I’m going to be honest these posts are selfishly for me and my art so I’m not going to be doing burned-in captions or titles, I have other posts more geared towards being IG algorithm friendly but I’ll posts those as the schedule moves forward! I know they won’t get as much traction but it’s a trade off in willing to make for the aesthetic I wanted here. Also, here’s a link to the EP so you can listen on your favorite platforms! https://ffm.to/tailspurgatory?fbclid=PARlRTSAMjBN9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp6xKZ_tyt785nYcY76iNEBMwfOQilqX_txr4ocr6Hh9qvNU6CLl0s20rq5aY_aem_a1Q1s6eNQmjunZmkjDUGNg

@Joshua Long had this amazing idea back in June, but while I was building the module, I didn't have much time to bring it all together. But now we can! If everyone wants to contribute, I would love to make a "welcome to Asterisk" video for all of our socials, and each individual will have a part in saying the script for the video. I think this will really help show that the program is something more than just a cookie-cutter course and a real community of creative professionals making an impact in the digital landscape and the creative industry. I will flesh out the idea in the following weeks and send a script. If you want to participate, please like this post or comment below so I can have an idea of who would want to be in it!

I was in the studio with an major artist who is thinking of going indie, and we end up talking about how artists lose their purpose trying to be what society thinks in an artist, and she said that alot of artists fail because they strive to imitate what they see on the internet and WANT THAT. She said "Your purpose ain’t gonna come from pretending you’re somebody else, it comes from owning where you came from and flipping that sh*t" And that really stuck w me. Alot of creatives see a path and follow what ATTRACTED them to that path, not the things that got them there to EARN where she is. No one wants to to do the HARD PART. Outside of the stuff I'll redact cause it's personal, we talked about how she can go viral after not doing ANY music, and she said that she had to EARN that, and you're a one hit wonder to the industry every QUARTER unless you can break a hit. She said she didn’t just post one video and chill. She just kept doing it without expecting ANYTHING; in her words she just, "kept talking my sh*t, kept showing up until [redacted] couldn’t ignore me". This is the part that creatives, ESPECIALLY those who grew up in the internet era, get wrong. I think it comes from the fact, that people don't share their missteps more often, and for that reason, it isn't shown to us when they DO, cause the algo thinks we would think it's boring, and the f*cked up part is ITS NOT WRONG. Sorry for the long post, but to every one who is frustrated in not seeing progress, STOP WORRYING ABOUT PROGRESS, or else you're gonna hate yourself. You can track your progress, as long as you know that comparing it to other people's growth isn't just counterproductive, it's pointless.
