OUR STORY
FLOCO Media — short for “FLOyd COmpany” — is a Florida-based independent creative media company founded on the belief that authentic storytelling, artistic craftsmanship, and meaningful creative expression still matter.
Established in the summer of 2023 as a privately held family-owned company, FLOCO was created to support independent artists, develop original entertainment properties, and produce media that values imagination, originality, and enduring cultural impact over short-term trends. Drawing inspiration from classic Americana, cinematic storytelling, retro entertainment, music history, tourism, and faith-informed creativity, FLOCO develops projects across music, publishing, animation, film, digital media, and emerging creative entertainment ventures.
As a Florida-based and headquartered LLC, FLOCO Media is currently exploring opportunities to establish a future brick-and-mortar headquarters and creative campus facility designed to support the company’s expanding Music, Books, Animation, Social Media, Tourism, and other digital creative divisions. The company is actively evaluating locations throughout the Florida Panhandle, Central Florida, and Northeast Florida as potential long-term homes for a centralized creative campus focused on production, collaboration, artist development, tourism-driven experiences, and emerging media initiatives.
From the beginning, FLOCO has embraced an independent creative spirit rooted in the belief that powerful stories should inspire audiences to think, feel, imagine, and connect. While much of the modern entertainment industry increasingly prioritizes formula-driven content and rapidly shifting trends, FLOCO remains committed to developing media grounded in strong storytelling, memorable artistic identity, and authentic human creativity.
FLOCO also recognizes the importance of free speech and creative freedom as essential foundations for meaningful artistic and cultural expression. This commitment allows the company to explore creative ideas, storytelling approaches, and artistic risks that are often overlooked within today’s increasingly centralized entertainment landscape while remaining focused on independent creator development and long-term artistic growth.
In addition to developing original intellectual properties, FLOCO actively seeks opportunities to acquire, restore, and revitalize overlooked, abandoned, or underutilized creative properties and breathe new life into them for modern audiences. The company believes that meaningful stories, imaginative worlds, and artistic concepts deserve the opportunity to evolve rather than disappear, and that many forgotten or overlooked creative works still hold tremendous cultural and artistic value.
FLOCO is also engaged in light artificial intelligence research through its proprietary Mavin platform, currently operating at Version 1.8. Unlike many Ai initiatives focused on replacing artists or generating fully automated systems, Mavin is designed to assist creators by helping human-made projects reach audiences more efficiently and affordably. FLOCO believes that everyone has a story worth telling, and that the next great film, book, animated series, song, or creative experience may already exist as an undiscovered “diamond in the rough” waiting for the right opportunity to emerge.
As an independent startup operating within an increasingly consolidated entertainment industry, FLOCO understands that competing head-to-head with major media corporations requires creativity, adaptability, and unconventional thinking. Through innovation, collaborative production models, efficient creative workflows, and emerging technologies such as the Mavin platform, FLOCO is developing new ways for independent creators and emerging media ventures to produce, market, and distribute meaningful creative work with significantly reduced financial barriers.
We believe creativity flourishes when artists are free to experiment, challenge convention, and remain true to their vision. We dare to be creative. We dare to be original. We dare to push beyond short-sighted mainstream trends in pursuit of stories and experiences that leave a lasting impression on audiences. At FLOCO Media, “Progress on the Prowl” reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, artistic growth, and the future of independent creative media.
Today, FLOCO Media continues to expand through artist collaborations, original productions, publishing initiatives, animation projects, tourism-focused creative ventures, and media development efforts designed to support independent creators and contribute to Florida’s growing creative economy. The company also maintains a strong interest in preserving overlooked artistic traditions, retro media aesthetics, and storytelling approaches that continue to inspire audiences across generations.
As FLOCO grows, the company remains committed to fostering creative collaboration, supporting artist development, exploring educational and mentorship opportunities, and building a lasting independent media ecosystem where creators can produce bold and meaningful work while remaining authentic to their artistic vision.
OUR VALUES
Company Motto: “The early bird gets the worm, but the early fox gets the bird.”
FLOCO Media is a Catholic-run creative company grounded in the belief that storytelling, creativity, and artistic expression have the power to inspire, preserve culture, strengthen communities, and create meaningful connections across generations.
Founded by Monty Floyd a former Disney Imagineering creative professional who experienced firsthand an era when timeless storytelling, craftsmanship, imagination, and family-oriented entertainment stood at the center of the industry, FLOCO was built on the principles of originality, artistic integrity, and enduring creative values. We believe the strongest stories are those rooted in purpose, emotional authenticity, and respect for the human experience.
Our work is influenced by faith-informed creativity, classic Americana, cinematic storytelling traditions, and a deep appreciation for the artistic craftsmanship that has shaped generations of music, film, literature, and animation. While much of the modern entertainment industry increasingly prioritizes rapidly changing trends and formula-driven content, FLOCO remains committed to developing projects that are imaginative, memorable, and authentically human.
At FLOCO, we believe creativity flourishes when artists are free to think independently, take creative risks, and pursue stories with depth, meaning, and conviction. We value collaboration, creative exploration, and the freedom to develop ideas and perspectives that may otherwise be overlooked within today’s increasingly centralized entertainment landscape.
Our company is guided by principles rooted in faith, family, discipline, responsibility, and respect for artistic expression. These values influence how we approach storytelling, artist development, collaboration, mentorship, and long-term creative growth. FLOCO also recognizes the importance of free speech and creative freedom as essential foundations for meaningful artistic and cultural dialogue.
As a company inspired by Catholic tradition and Christian values, FLOCO draws inspiration from patron saints whose lives reflected courage, wisdom, creativity, perseverance, and service:
-
St. Michael the Archangel
-
St. Benedict
-
St. George
-
St. Scholastica
-
St. John the Baptist
These figures continue to inspire the spirit of leadership, creativity, integrity, and moral clarity that helps shape FLOCO’s identity and long-term vision.
Our guiding Scripture is Romans 12:2:
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
This verse serves as a reminder that meaningful creativity often requires renewed perspective, thoughtful reflection, and the courage to pursue ideas that encourage audiences to think more deeply about the world around them.
At FLOCO Media, we value:
-
Artistic Integrity
-
Creative Freedom
-
Faith and Family
-
Independent Thought
-
Bold and Meaningful Storytelling
-
Respect for Creative Craftsmanship
-
Preservation of Artistic and Cultural Traditions
-
Collaboration and Artist Development
-
Innovation Through Authentic Human Creativity
We are committed to building a creative environment where artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, animators, and storytellers can develop projects that remain authentic to their vision while contributing to a stronger and more vibrant independent creative landscape.
At FLOCO Media, “Progress on the Prowl” reflects our ongoing commitment to creativity, innovation, collaboration, and the pursuit of meaningful stories that leave a lasting impact on audiences, communities, and culture alike.
OUR VISION
FLOCO Media envisions a future where independent creators, artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, animators, and storytellers can thrive in an entertainment landscape that increasingly values originality, artistic freedom, authentic human creativity, and meaningful storytelling.
Our vision is to build a dynamic and sustainable independent media ecosystem that supports the development of original intellectual properties, revitalizes overlooked creative works, and creates new opportunities for creators whose voices and artistic perspectives are often underserved within today’s increasingly consolidated entertainment industry.
Through its expanding creative divisions — including music, publishing, animation, digital media, tourism-focused ventures, and emerging entertainment initiatives — FLOCO seeks to develop projects that prioritize craftsmanship, imagination, cultural impact, and long-term artistic value over short-lived trends and formula-driven content.
As FLOCO continues to grow, the company aims to establish a permanent centralized creative campus in Florida that will serve as the operational and creative heart of the organization. This future campus is envisioned as a collaborative environment where artists, musicians, writers, animators, filmmakers, developers, and creative professionals can work together across multiple disciplines to produce innovative and meaningful media projects.
The long-term vision for this creative campus includes:
-
Professional music production and recording facilities
-
Publishing and writer development operations
-
Animation and visual storytelling studios
-
Creative collaboration and training spaces
-
Media production and digital content operations
-
Artist mentorship and educational initiatives
-
Tourism and entertainment-driven creative experiences
FLOCO also envisions expanding its investment in emerging creative technologies, including the continued development of its proprietary Mavin AI platform. Designed to support rather than replace creators, Mavin reflects FLOCO’s belief that technology should empower independent artists by reducing production barriers, improving efficiency, and helping meaningful human-created projects reach wider audiences.
At its core, FLOCO’s vision is rooted in the belief that powerful stories still matter. We believe audiences continue to seek entertainment that inspires imagination, encourages thoughtful reflection, preserves artistic craftsmanship, and creates lasting emotional connection.
By fostering collaboration, supporting creator development, investing in innovative production models, and preserving meaningful storytelling traditions, FLOCO Media seeks to help shape a stronger and more accessible future for independent creative media.
At FLOCO Media, “Progress on the Prowl” represents our commitment to continually building new opportunities for creators, expanding independent media pathways, and developing stories and experiences that leave a lasting impact on audiences, culture, and the future of entertainment.
