It’s not every day that a veteran Los Angeles filmmaker plants new creative roots in Connecticut. Vincent Wrenn, a seasoned cinematographer with deep storytelling expertise, traded the palm-lined streets of California for the vibrant community of West Hartford.
After two and a half decades working in film, television, and commercial production, Vincent’s resume is as varied as it is extensive. His work on The Defiant Ones pulled back the veil on the stories behind rock stars and rap gods alike. His most recent feature, The Age of Disclosure, premiered at South by Southwest Film Festival to sold-out crowds and standing ovations—an experience Vincent describes as an honor.
“Sitting in a theatre surrounded by 1200 people, hearing their ‘oohs and aahs‘ to something you’ve worked on for two years…it’s hard to beat. ”
It’s that same passion, polish, and purpose he’s now bringing to local brands and businesses through Framelines Creative, the media house he launched with his wife and business partner, Myra. Together, they’re offering West Hartford emotionally resonant, high-caliber visual storytelling that goes beyond social media trends to create lasting brand connections. “We offer thoughtful, beautifully executed work that elevates a brand’s presence and speaks directly to its core audience.”
The journey from LA to West Hartford wasn’t exactly scripted, but it was heartfelt. The move brought seasons, stillness, and the kind of small-town inspiration that sparks big ideas, especially for Vincent.
“Being surrounded by the history and beauty of this place is going to take some getting used to.”
Their relocation also came with a realization: while cities like LA and New York were saturated with production companies, areas like Greater Hartford were ripe with creative opportunity and authentic community connection. The couple saw the gap and the potential.
“There are so many brilliant small businesses here—so much heart and hustle. But there’s not always access to innovative, high-quality media that can help tell those stories at scale,” Vincent says. “That’s where we come in.”
Framelines Creative isn’t your average production studio. Clients hiring them are enlisting a team that understands storytelling, strategy, and the emotional nuance of marketing in a saturated digital world.
“We know that lighting, as much as a logo or packaging, affects how desirable something is upon first sight.”
Though he has only been in West Hartford a short while, Vincent meets regularly with artists, business owners, and creatives over coffee. He is enthusiastic about building meaningful partnerships that support the entrepreneurial spirit of the region.
“There’s a generosity here that’s rare,” Vincent says. “People will actually show up. They’ll sit down, share ideas, collaborate. It’s a community that’s not just open to newcomers—it’s excited to help them succeed.”
Framelines aims to work with local brands that understand the value of investing in their voice, from high-end retailers and boutique services to legacy family-run businesses ready to evolve. They’re not out to convince the market of the need for advertising—they’re here for the folks who already believe in it and want to take it to the next level.
With an ever-growing body of work, a bold creative vision, and a serious love for the town they now call home, Framelines Creative is poised to become a go-to name in Greater Hartford’s brand and media scene.
Whether you’re a legacy brand ready for reinvention or a start-up in search of your soul, Framelines Creative are here to help you tell your story—frame by thoughtful frame.
