I am honored to announce that my latest documentary as Producer and Editor is an Official Selection at @festivaldecannes as part of Cannes Classics 2026!!
“Dernsie: The Amazing Life of Bruce Dern” has been a labor of love for me over a year and a half, and I’m so excited for the world to finally see what we’ve been working on!
Immense gratitude to my brilliant collaborators, director @madmanmendez and writer/producer @ben_epstein . And a huge thanks to the our tiny but mighty production and post teams who gave it all. Shout out to our additional editors @bdawgmott , @strangerthanfilms , Dave Parker, and Eric Wing, and our Assistant Editors Zach Daly and Jeff Behray, I could not have edited this film without your excellent work.
Bruce’s life is a beautiful story of endurance and never giving up, and it sublimely influenced our work on it too. YES WE CANNES!!

So excited to announce that our movie, BUCK ALAMO, is now available to buy/rent across all of your favorite platforms.
Do you enjoy innovative indie filmmaking, e.g., layered, flawed, unpredictable characters; new music by independent musicians & singer-song writers? What about breathtaking cinematography? Want to see a movie about a “real-life singing Cowboy” reminiscent of Austin’s music heyday?
That – and so much more – is BUCK ALAMO. Boasting 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, BUCK ALAMO is a dreamlike portrait of a modern-day musical outlaw as he duels with Death. It stars Sonny Carl Davis, Lorelei Linklater, Lee Eddy, and Bruce Dern.
And if possible, help us spread the word by forwarding this info to your network! The pre-order process is essential to the success of independent films, providing better placement/visibility on platforms upon release. I would be humbled if you would consider pre-ordering on Apple/itunes today. Just click the link in my bio. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Hot off the press! DERNSIE is buzzin’ in anticipation of our premiere next week at @festivaldecannes ! Can’t wait! #independentfilm #dernsie #cannesfilmfestival #brucedern
Some of my favorite frames from Grapefruit, a true indie that I had the pleasure of shooting for one of my best and oldest buds, @chasejoliet .
This was a labor of love—shot with very little money and a whole lot of heart. Written and directed by @chasejoliet , who starred alongside his immensely talented wife @stephbarkley and the legendary @rosannaarquette .
I think back on this shoot often with great fondness, as it was the warmest kind of filmmaking experience: making movies with your friends. Huge thanks to the wonderful producing team of @brookedooley and @ben_epstein . USC pals @delnegs and @taylorgianotas also lent their talents as A camera operator and editor.
Grapefruit is available to rent now on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. Chase is a true talent, and I expect this to be the first of many films, so please check it out!
Thank you Al Topich for your incredible review of #BuckAlamo @arkansasonline
- “Buck Alamo” my favorite film of the year.” - Al Topich, Northwest Arkansas Gazette

We started a journey a while back with friends and family to make a movie. We had the joy of bringing that movie to festival audiences across the world. Now @buckalamofilm is hitting the road theatrically next week in every USA region. Hope to see you on the tour!
More announcements coming soon!
