** 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

what's going on?

am i doing standup? am i writing?

not fucking really.

am i on twitter seeing people constantly post about all the amazing jobs in comedy and writing they've obtained?

of course.

are some of them more talented than me?

yes.

are some of them not?

sure, who gives a fuck.

i don't really work that hard for anything lately. i'm happy to fuck the hell out of my girlfriend and buy her dinner and sleep next to her and say that i miss her when she's not around. i love her and that's pretty fucking wild and i think i do feel happy lately due to the precise cocktail of

anti-depressant and

booze

and

weed.

but i don't know. can i blame the pandemic anymore? do i actually have the tenacity to get my writing out there? do i even need to get it out there?

can't i just do some poems and writing and songs and be happy with that? a little standup on the side? some acting gigs here and there?

i'm ready to get things moving on this life of mine.

i don't know why but

even though i'm so dang happy with the person i'm with i still keep thinking

this isn't forever

i don't love her like i should love someone that would be longer term

i don't know i love her i just

wouldn't move in with her and

wouldn't marry her?

but that doesn't feel like it's a good enough reason to not carry on.

that's not a good reason to stop enjoying life

to stop breathing and tasting and fucking and typing, even if you aren't typing anythign good.

i know friends like meeee i know life is kkkkkk

okay so taht's all for now. therapy, yada yada yada.

my family is aging and i feel disconnected from them and not necessarily connected to or interseted in anything else so.
