Live Free was founded by Barkhoff and Delfs in 2019 following a brief fallout, which occurred after a creative hiatus, between Barkhoff and Van Hauen. Barkhoff initially didn't want to forsee a Barking Vans departure but did after some thinking on the matter, attributing it to "Jarrod and I were doing two very different things in a company meant to be two very similar people."

Due to this, Barking Vans would eventually become reunited, along with the duo, but now acts as a production outlet whenever they are involved on the same creative piece of work, and Live Free acts as a distributor.

The creative network followed after Barkhoff's debut feature film, "INFINITE.", in 2018, and has since handled distribution on his sophomoric effort, "Windfall", and is preparing the release of his third film, "Doppelgang".

Other productions distributed by the outlet, on a film basis, include Van Hauen's debut feature film "Death, My Darling", the second season and on of "Chapters.", a new incarnation of Barking Van's "Unscripted" series, "Twisted Tracklist", and "The Live Free Podcast".

In terms of music, Live Free has released multiple singles and albums that have caught the ear of listeners who have given them both positive reception and a more positive streaming number than that of Barking Vans' musical releases. These include Norff's "Double Feature", "Life Is Rough", UGK David's "$EX $ELLS", "Live Free UGK", "Cero Mideo", Mcee Detox's "Living Free Introductory", and Barkhoff's soundtracks for "Windfall" and "Death, My Darling".

Live Free has amassed acclaim for it's content and has extended it's hands towards a more fulfilling prophetic creative twist on today's standard filmmaking.
