A Trip to Unicorn Island
YOUTUBE ORIGINALS
Director: SCOTT WINN
The original film, executive produced by Astronauts Wanted, follows YouTube personality Singh, who has over 1 billion views and 8 million subscribers, on her world tour. Through the 26-city trip, Singh aspires to spread happiness and show how discovering “Unicorn Island” (her metaphorical happy place) saved her life.
Singh believes that YouTube is more than just the entry-way to “making it,” especially now that YouTube Red is pursuing original content creation similar to Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. “I think we’re in such an exciting time right now,” she said. “When I first started YouTubeing, the idea was ‘Oh, YouTube is going to be a stepping stone to get to other places,’ and I just totally don’t agree with that,” Singh said. “I think YouTube is amazing. The digital space is amazing.”
