Brian Few Jr.
Brian Few Jr. is a 4x Upper Midwest Regional Emmy Award-winning creative director, cinematographer, and experience designer based in Minneapolis.
Through film, photography, youth programs, cultural projects, and story-driven products, his work helps people slow down, see more deeply, and recognize the dignity, beauty, and potential within themselves and their communities.
A first-generation college graduate and bilingual storyteller in English and Spanish, Brian has spent more than 15 years using the camera as both a creative tool and a way of understanding people. What began as curiosity became a language — a way to listen, observe, and honor the emotional truth inside everyday moments.
For Brian, storytelling is not about spectacle. It is about presence. It is about noticing what others overlook. It is about creating the kind of space where people do not feel forced to perform, but invited to remember who they are.
That belief has shaped his work across film, public affairs, education, travel, and community-centered storytelling. From Emmy-winning creative work to youth media experiences, photography collections, speaking engagements, and cultural projects, Brian’s work is connected by one central purpose:
To create experiences that help people see themselves and the world differently.
Today, Brian’s creative ecosystem includes Eye of Few Academy, A Choice of Weapons, The Traveling Emmy, Destination Puzzles, and Love for Mi Gente — each one designed as a different doorway into reflection, imagination, and transformation.
Dignity-Based Storytelling
I create stories with people, not simply about them.
My work is built on presence, emotional intelligence, and the belief that every person carries a truth worth honoring. Whether I am holding a camera, leading a youth experience, designing a product, or building a cultural project, I am always looking for the same thing: the moment where someone feels seen.
I do not enter a story with assumptions or a pre-written narrative. I listen for what is already there — the gestures, silence, memory, movement, and emotion that reveal something real.
The goal is not perfection.
The goal is connection.
In my work, the camera is not a spotlight. It is a mirror. It is a tool for dignity, reflection, and remembrance.
