INFLUX: What are you currently working on that you can share with us?

BRENT: Our hope is that we get subscribers to watch the film to increase monetization for the film.

BRENT: Completing a project and getting it into distribution
INFLUX: Tell us about some of your past projects and where we can watch them if they’re available?

INFLUX: What goals to you have for yourself moving forward?
BRENT: To create more content where we control the narrative.
INFLUX: What advice would you give to your younger self just starting out?

BRENT: I was homeless during my journey to where I am today.
