Nashville-based Bella expands Midwest reach with Maureen Butler

Bella, a prominent commercial production and post company, is thrilled to announce its latest partnership with Maureen “Mo” Butler, the founder of Chicago-based Mo Butler Reps. This collaboration will see Mo Butler Reps representing Bella’s talented professionals throughout the U.S. Midwest, further expanding Bella’s presence in the industry.

Bella has recently emerged as an independent entity after seven productive years of development under the umbrella of Fivestone Studios. With this transition, Bella has solidified its position as the exclusive home for an array of highly accomplished and versatile directors, including Anthony Pellino, Jeremy Liebovitch, and Robert Adamo. Additionally, Bella’s roster of editors, comprising Brandon Roten, Christian Whittemore, Ken Conrad, and Tim Moore, significantly enhances the company’s capabilities.

For Executive Producer David Perry, the U.S. Midwest market holds immense potential for innovative creative development, aligning perfectly with Bella’s offerings. Perry emphasized Bella’s commitment to fostering a culture of integrity and collaboration. He stated, “We are fiercely committed to building a culture of honor. This looks like investing in and empowering our people, ensuring that our talents are protected and valued, and locking arms with our partners and doing whatever it takes to solve challenges together.”

Perry expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration with Mo Butler, citing her dedication and bold approach to creative solutions. He emphasized that Mo Butler shares Bella’s passion for establishing unique partnerships with clients, driven by trust and a reputation for delivering outstanding creative work.

Butler, reflecting on the partnership, highlighted Bella’s strengths as a company, particularly its team’s expertise in building the full-service multimedia studio, Fivestone. “Bella’s superpower is the genius and expertise of its team who have built the full-service multimedia studio Fivestone,” said Butler. “David’s expertise for great storytelling, production, post-production and VFX will enable him to offer agencies and clients full-service solutions with accomplished directors, post-production, and finishing.”

Bella’s expansion doesn’t stop here; the company has also secured representation through Devine Reps on the U.S. East and West Coasts, along with representation by Jack Reed in the South.
