The Elevator Boys: Stepping into New Territories

The Elevator Boys, a renowned group of social media pioneers, are making waves once again, this time in the world of fashion. They've teamed up with American shoe brand Crocs to create two new models, marking their foray into the footwear industry.

One of the masterminds behind this collaboration is Tim Schaecker, an entrepreneur who runs his own agency, Kabu Artists, and has launched a sports startup called CNDO. Another key player is Jacob Rott, who brings his fashion expertise to the table, having walked for Versace, L'Oreal, and been the global face of Polo Ralph Lauren.

While Tim and Jacob are busy with the business side of things, Luis Freitag is focusing on the group's music. Luis, known for his vocal production and beat management skills, was introduced to music at a young age with his first Limp Bizkit CD at ten. His music influences range from Radiohead to Arctic Monkeys.

The Elevator Boys are also known for their unconventional approach to success. They take one step at a time until even the seemingly irrational move makes sense. This philosophy is evident in their current project, an Amazon Prime movie where they embark on a time-travel journey to the 90s and morph into a boy band.

The filming for this project took place in Malta, with nine languages on set and sometimes 20 setups for a single scene. Bene Schulz, a member of the group, is the first to ask about others' well-being and is seen as the poster boy of a new masculinity. Bene has also become an advocate for mental health within the Elevator Boys, having learned that seeking help is not something to be ashamed of.

Julien Brown, another member of the group, is training for the Berlin Marathon in September. Meanwhile, Bene and another member, Luis, live alone, while Tim lives with videographer Jojo, and Julien lives with Bene.

The producers of the Amazon Prime movie are not explicitly mentioned in the provided search results. However, Eva Ries, the group's manager, is involved in their management, as referenced in the documentary "Evil-E - Eva Ries und der Wu-Tang Clan".

In addition to their work on the Amazon Prime movie, the Elevator Boys are also practicing a choreographed dance routine for a music video. León C. Romeike and Isidor Levy, Tara Malak, and Tina Pachta were involved in the styling and grooming for the article.
