It's a valid question people ask me all the time: What exactly do you do?

Again, fair enough. Our festivals take up part of the day-to-day work as does teaching college level arts (Professor Brent, but part of our move to LA two years ago was to focus more on developing talent and managing rising creators.

Our company, FlowFeel, grew out of a simple idea that we've been executing in some fashion or another for well over a decade: talented creators need strong tools plus guidance to make it in Entertainment and build something meaningful.

Now back in the Midwest (again), we remain committed to helping rising filmmakers, actors, and creators find their voice, build their brand, and take real steps toward the industry. Past students and clients have 100s of millions of views on TikTok, YouTube and Reels using our guidance. Our connection and work in Chicago and LA continue to garner strong benefits from our connections and experience!

We're excited as ever to be doing this work. Check out @flowfeelarts for updates and more info!

✨ Storytelling Is Where Real Brand Magic Happens OR ** Why telling real stories matters more than ever ** ✨

💥Great brand building isn’t about a single ad or a quick sale — it’s about connection, familiarity, and meaning. On platforms like YouTube, you have space to tell stories that feel human, memorable, and culturally relevant — not just transactional.

🔥 Be consistent in voice and presence. Trust grows when familiar faces and narratives show up again and again — not because you force frequency, but because audiences enjoy the story.

🎥 Craft narratives that reveal who you are. Whether you’re revealing a new side or pitch or introducing your ethos, stories shape how people feel and remember your brand.

💥 Tap into culture and community. Don’t just interrupt people — join what they already care about. Align your story with passions, fandoms, and moments they’re excited about.

💡 When your narrative resonates, people search for you, talk about you, and remember you long after they’ve watched.

** Thoughts Post-LA Screenings - Content Still Rules **

A stimulating couple days at LA Screenings Independents! Can't be stated enough how important it is to MEET face-to-face with producers, buyers, agents and financers from around the world!

Part of our mission at FlowFeel Arts is to connect our alumni and colleagues with the biggest and most beneficial opportunities in the industry and we'll continue to do just that.

What we took away from a couple stimulating days at the iconic Hollywood Roosevelt:

As already stated, in-person meetings are still very necessary even in today's hybrid world. It's evident that many people feel the same. While deals can get done from anywhere, in-person at the big events, still holds up strongly!

In terms of what is selling- short-form dramas, reality TV, creator-focused content are at the top. But anything can sell in today's hyper-fragmented marketplace. New creators don't need to chase trends, just go with what your passionate about.

Combine LA Screenings outcomes, with what we can takeaway from Cannes and post-New Fronts, the overall content market is still thriving despite the woes of the overall economy and lingering industry issues. Most are championing these opportunities for innovation and growth. There's slightly less focus on flash and flare and more focus on substance and quality, which is a STRONG sign for emerging talent! Viewer-first Content is needed year-round, and platforms need to be quick to adapt, Creators are more important to brands than ever - all GREAT news for creators!

Hollywood Roosevelt in a great place for an event like this. While the hustle-bustle of Hollywood Blvd. can be distracting, the venue itself was perfect for meetings, networking, workspace and screenings. The hotel has beautiful spaces, multi-use functions and pretty much everything on-site.

We were happy to connect with so many new faces at LA Screenings, if you have projects or ideas and want to chat, be in touch! Brent@ Flowfeelfilms.com

A skyline like this can't be matched! Rising high enough to only be backdropped by massive peaks in an expansive National Forest, LA looks amazing from here. Winter time brings big snows to the mountain tops and adds another layer to the most amazing city in the country - a chance to play in the powder and come home to 70 degree evenings! It's unmatchable - perfect for locals in Los Angeles or travelers to the City of Angels!
