MATTHEW STEWART - VIDEO EDITOR, CULTAHOLIC

In the words of Obi-Wan Kenobi, "Hello there!" Thanks for visiting my website, I'm sure you won't regret it! Can't guarantee it, though.

 

So, my name is Matthew Stewart and I'm a video video editor with around ten years of experience. You could argue, therefore, that I do in fact know my way around a keyboard and mouse. For a living I edit videos for Cultaholic Wrestling, a hugely successful YouTube channel with over 600,000 subscribers at the time of writing.

 

Editing might sound a bit dull. You might think it's just staring at a computer screen all day and adding images to audio files... And that's exactly right! But it's something I love. How many people can say they do something they enjoy and work with people they genuinely idolised as a teenager? Seriously, it still feels surreal to say I am a member of the Cultaholic crew. I have to pinch myself at times.

 

If you haven't already done so, go check out the channel and hit subscribe, particularly if you have a fondness for professional wrestling. You might even comes across one of the videos I've edited. Or you could just go to the 'Videos' section of this website and go through the playlist 'Cultaholic Videos I've Edited'. Whatever floats your boat.

​

Anyway, I must get back to editing before Mr. Pacitti whips me. Bye!

INSIDE STAR WARS

Oh, yeah, I should probably explain Inside Star Wars before I go.

 

Once upon a time, all the way back in 2013, to be exact, I created a Star Wars YouTube channel called TheCancrizans. My first ever video was released in November of that year, detailing the life of Jar Jar Binks and what may have happened to him following the Star Wars prequel trilogy. It's fair to say my knowledge of the galaxy far, far away was rather limited back then. But hey, I had an idea for a Star Wars lore series and I was going to do my absolute best to realise its potential!

 

To be fair, I never thought the channel would quite take off like it did. You are, after all, listening to a man who has had several different YouTube accounts since around 2008. However, through perseverance and a little known movie called The Force Awakens, my latest account blew up massively!

 

I was gaining tens of thousands of subscribers each month. It was mad! I even managed to convince my parents I should pursue YouTube full-time instead of going to university... "Well played," I thought to myself.

 

It was a fantastic career initially, but if I'm being brutally honest, I simply did not have the leadership skills nor the drive to keep up with demand. Eventually, the channel began to cool off.

 

Yet in November of 2017, EA invited me out to its offices in California to playtest and subsequently review Star Wars Battlefront II. An event where I get to sit around all day playing games, meet some of the Star Wars YouTubers who inspired TheCancrizans, and eat a bunch of American snacks? "Sign me up," I said!

 

As of writing this post, the freshly rebranded Inside Star Wars boasts over 78,000 subscribers. To put that into context: all of my subscribers, if they gathered in a cult-like fashion, could fill Manchester United's stadium, Old Trafford. WTF?!

 

So while the channel isn't doing as well as it once did, you best believe I'm still as obsessed with Star Wars as ever. My baby is over six-years-old now and yet we've still not even scratched the surface of Star Wars lore. Stay tuned!

​

Right, now I must really go. It's not the good kind of whipping!

 

Wait, what?
