Chris Stuckmann was tremendously inspired by Roger Ebert. It was through him that he learned that an opinion on a film was a universal concept. There was no right or wrong, there was simply, your thoughts. Through his television reviews with Gene Siskel, Stuckmann discovered the idea of a debate on a film, but a respectful one. It wasn’t until his twenties that Stuckmann discovered reviewing movies on YouTube. From the very beginning he fell in love with it. YouTube critics and reviews have gone from a small group of “video bloggers” to a respected way of discussing film. Some YouTube reviewers are even recognized as press, and Rotten Tomatoes has opened the door for a handful of them to be certified. As a result of all this, Chris Stuckmann has created a brand of recognizable and respected videos. 600k subscribers • 128 million views Chris Stuckmann: Film critic, filmmaker, writer: http://www.youtube.com/user/ChrisStuckmann Official Website: http://www.chrisstuckmann.com Winner of the 2014 ICG Publicists Guild Press Award (honoring outstanding entertainment journalism), Scott “Movie” Mantz is the Film Critic and Film Segment Producer for “Access Hollywood.” In October 2000, Mantz joined the daily entertainment newsmagazine TV show, which is currently in its 17th season.
