Markiplier has officially made the leap from YouTube megastar to feature-film director with Iron Lung , his intense adaptation of the viral indie horror game. The self-funded project marks his debut as a filmmaker — and he took on nearly every major role behind the scenes.
In a statement shared with Variety , Markiplier joked about the challenge, saying, “They said it shouldn’t be done… that it would be ‘woefully unwise’ to tackle writing, directing, acting, and editing a movie myself. Showed them. My bathroom might be a render farm now, but I can’t wait for people to see the blood, sweat, blood, tears, blood and blood that went into this movie from everyone involved.”
