Slow Entertainment Approach

• First came the 'slow food' movement in Italy and
  France. Then, 'slow fashion' became a thing. And
  now, one LA based man has singlehandedly created
  the 'slow entertainment' movement.
• Barrett Wissman believes the growth of his slow
  entertainment approach will result in nothing
  less than a broader cultural understanding
  between people and contribute to the appreciation
  of what makes us human beings again'--which is
  something often all too easily forgotten in our
  fast-paced digital age.

Wine Wedding Song

• Barretts mission in his life to have more and
  more people enjoy and love the arts. He organized
  festivals to engage local communities and have
  music, literature, art, film, cuisine, wine etc.
• Wissman is uniquely positioned to "get everybody
  involved." No matter how far-flung the festivals
  and events, Wissman stays near his roots. "I'm a
  pianist," he says, "a concert pianist. I still
  play, I play from time to time in the festivals.
  So I'm a musician, I come from the arts."
