Now twenty eight, Brennan lives in Los Angeles and has accrued tens of millions of youtube views and has directed videos for clients ranging from mainstream A-list artists to underground punk bands to politicians and corporate companies.

He helped start the artist collective Cocoon Malibu with Cisco Adler and was creative director for a full year in Malibu, CA. Brennan works very closely with acclaimed artist Mod Sun filming music videos, daily lifestyle content and touring the country with him.

Besides film, Brennan is also an accomplished photographer. He was worked with likes of Machine Gun Kelly, Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Bella Thorne, Lil Peep, Riff Raff and J.I.D. just to name a few. His work has been featured in Maxim Magazine, Billboard and ESPN. Brennan has released two photography books featuring all original images including his own poetry.
