Brent's recent narrative work has garnered honorable mentions in publications such as Variety and MovieMaker. Brent lives in Nashville, TN with his wife of seventeen years, and their five children. Brent's feature directorial debut is Unconditional, starring Michael Ealy (Takers, Seven Pounds) and Lynn Collins (John Carter, Wolverine). Brent wrote, directed, and edited the film.
