Wearefleshandbones is the digital headquarters of Flesh and Bones, an edgy, boundary-pushing mixed-media production house operating out of Los Angeles, California, and Charleston, South Carolina. Co-founded by veteran managing director Rob Traill (20+ years steering elite commercial campaigns for Nike, Google, and McDonald’s) and award-winning filmmaker/creative director Tony Benna, the studio actively rejects playing it safe, declaring that its work lives “in the collision” of raw storytelling and unexpected visuals.
The platform is designed to instantly slice through the internet’s standard corporate noise. Built around a bold, typographic, and deeply interactive layout designed by Aaron Ray and engineered by Seek and Deploy, the site stands as an immediate benchmark for creative front-end portfolios. Flesh and Bones aggregates a highly eclectic roster of directors, stop-motion animators, and visual instigators, targeting progressive ad agencies, streaming networks, record labels, and brave consumer brands that want to leave a permanent mark on the scroll.
