Jacksepticeye's Biographical Documentary How Did We Get Here? Available to Own or Rent Digitally March 15th 

With over 27 million YouTube subscribers, Jacksepticeye personifies what it means to be a viral sensation. Shout! Studios, in collaboration with Real Good Touring, is set to unleash How Did We Get Here?, the inspiring story of Sean McLoughlin (a.k.a. Jacksepticeye), who became one of YouTube’s biggest stars and formed an amazing world community around him in the process. Directed by Tucker Prescott, this captivating feature-length movie debuts Tuesday, March 15, 2022, on major VOD and digital platforms in North America. 

Sean McLoughlin was just a kid in rural Ireland. Now, he’s Jacksepticeye, one of the world’s top influencers. His visibility expands beyond YouTube and gaming and into pop culture at large. When he embarks on his first world tour, Sean contemplates his journey, his upbringing, and the nature of modern online celebrity and fandom as he meets the people across the world who changed his life and whose lives he’s changed with his videos and the community they’ve built. 

Debuting for the first time on major VOD and digital platforms in North America, How Did We Get Here? is an intimate reflection on life in the digital age and follows McLoughlin’s journey through the highest highs — chanting crowds, sold-out shows, and marriage proposals — and lowest lows — grappling with loneliness in the harsh Irish winter, and the life and wonder in between.
