This will be followed up with a red carpet event, and the evening will conclude with exclusive screenings. Following the Los Angeles event, Buffer -- which was founded by Canadian creators Corey Vidal, Saskia Vanell, and Corrado Coia -- will return to Toronto for its sixth annual iteration, to be held from September 27 to 30.

While Shay Carl Butler is often thought to be the forefather of modern vlogging, it was actually his wife, Colette, who fired up a vlogging camera for the first time -- capturing her husband as he danced around their living room in a black-and-blue unitard. This clip -- and Butler’s snazzy attire -- subsequently inspired the name of their 4 million-subscribers-strong channel, the Shaytards.
This is just one of many insights to be found in Vlogumentary, a feature documentary about the rise of YouTube’s vlogging community, which was announced back in 2013 and premiered last night at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Butler began working on the film with fellow creator Corey Vidal, and the two subsequently raised more than $200,000 from 5,400 Indiegogo donors. In 2015, they brought famed documentarian Morgan Spurlock on board, who agreed to produce the film.

For the third year in a row, prominent members of the online video community are headed to Toronto to meet up with their fans and share some of their work. The Canadian metropolis will once again play host to the Buffer Festival, an online video gathering meant to resemble a traditional film festival.
Buffer Festival, which was launched in 2013 by vlogger Corey Vidal of the ApprenticeA YouTube channel, works a little differently most of the other events on the online video calendar. Its schedule is filled with 90-minute screenings, each one representing a different genre on YouTube. At a Saturday afternoon Science and Education screening, for example, relevant creators like Jake Roper of Vsauce3 and Matthew Santoro will present topical videos from around the Internet.
As Vidal told the Toronto Sun, this “film festival” feel is all part of the plan. “We want to be taking YouTube really seriously,” he said.

Few people are more in tune with the YouTube community than Corey Vidal. The vlogger and filmmaker, whose ApprenticeA channel has more than 220,000 subscribers, has often collaborated with his fellow YouTubers and will feature many of them in his upcoming Vlogumentary film about the world of YouTube vloggers. For his next project, Vidal will provide another space at which YouTubers can show off their work. He will launch the Buffer Festival, a film festival with a lineup composed entirely of YouTube content. The Buffer Festival will run from November 8th to the 10th across five different locations in downtown Toronto. It will be affiliated with the Toronto International Film Festival and will be make use of that event's Tiff Bell Lightbox building, but Vidal and his team will make sure the Internet takes center stage. "I am very excited to combine the YouTube experience with a theatrical setting," he said in a release.

A new series is looking into the fictionalized real life of a fictional vlogger. That twisted, confusing sentence is the best way I can describe Versus Valerie, the web series that stars Sexy Nerd Girl vlogger Hannah Spear as Valerie Lapomme, the character she plays on the Internet. Sexy Nerd Girl, for the uninitiated, is a lonelygirl15 type vlog where Lapomme is treated like a real person even though she is not. Versus Valerie then examines Lapomme's invented home life, focusing on her problems with boys and her family, many of which are caused by her nerdiness and generally awkward self. In a way, it can be likened to 30 Rock: Spear is Tina Fey, Lapomme is Liz Lemon, and Sexy Nerd Girl is The Girlie Show. Versus Valerie even gives its leading lady a platonic male friend to be her Jack Donaghy (minus the gravitas and expensive suits). And like 30 Rock,...
