Zusammenfassung & Show Notes

🎙️ In today’s episode, Shayne Davis @thefakeshaynedavis takes us along on his journey through the Vertical space so far. Although he’s still relatively new to the industry, he made an impressive start right away — after filming his very first Vertical, he immediately received offers for five more projects. 🚀

What matters most to him despite the growing success? Staying authentic and never losing sight of what truly matters. Because of his own life experiences, Shayne is also deeply passionate about helping others, especially through his work with recovering addicts and at-risk youth ❤️

What’s it like filming with kids? According to Shayne: multitasking at its finest 😂 From playing the “Daddy role” on camera to stepping into a “Big Brother role” between scenes.

One thing he would love to see more of in Verticals? Stronger villains 😈 He feels antagonist characters often lose too quickly to the hero and lack real depth. More complexity could make the stories even more engaging. He’d also love to see more variety in genres — especially comedy 🎭 and a truly great western 🤠

Like many viewers, Shayne is also tired of repetitive banquet scenes 🍷 and characters constantly being portrayed as weak until the very end. He believes audiences want to see confidence, growth, and real strength 💪

Horror movies for breakfast? Absolutely 🍿👻�And as a true pizza lover 🍕 (pineapple NOT allowed 😅), Shayne also refuses to take on roles in storylines that already exist on the market. His goal is to bring more originality, variety, and entertainment to his fans.

A fun, honest, and inspiring conversation with someone who truly understands what it means to fight against being labeled as “weak” — and who passionately stands for strength, change, and new beginnings ✨
