Phoenix Jones: The Rise and Fall of a Real Life Superhero

The unbelievable true story of the Cornbread Mafia, a group of Kentucky farmers who built the largest domestic marijuana syndicate in U.S. history. Sons of tobacco farmers, moonshiners, and bootleggers, they turned to pot to keep their families fed.

What followed was straight out of Kentucky folklore: lion cubs on the farm, backroad police chases, and a code of silence that baffled prosecutors. Part true crime and part cartoon, the film blends community, the War on Drugs, and a whole lot of weed with the humor and heart of the folks who lived it.

The Reverent Few emerged from Chicago’s blues scene and have called Austin home for over a decade. They are a band bound  by shared history, raw honesty, and a lived-in belief in the power of music to connect and heal. With voices that carry like old hymns and instrumentation that cuts with both grit and grace, their songs aren’t just played, they’re inhabited. There’s gospel in the bones, blues in the breath, and rock and roll in the resolve. Their debut album, Ain’t No Place to Be (2020), was recorded in Dripping Springs and released through Bearpath Records. It's an eight-track collection steeped in soul both sonically and spiritually featuring contributions from Anthony Farrell of The Greyhounds. Critics praised its emotional weight and its blend of warmth, pain, and resilience. Their latest single, The World Will Be Wood to You, recorded live to tape at DogStar Studios, is a raw, analog meditation on loss and grace. Written during quiet reckonings and bedside goodbyes, it holds ache and light in equal measure. It's an offering, a gesture toward gentleness in a fractured world. The Reverent Few remind us that tenderness still matters, that community still holds.

Cure for Paranoia

Label Management, Brand Partnership, Gear Endorsement, Other Artists to Tour With, Booking Agent - UK/Europe, Sync/Music Supervisors

Formed in the heart of Dallas but born on the highway, Cure for Paranoia came together during a “doomsday road trip” intended to be their last. Having recently been diagnosed with bipolar paranoid schizophrenia, frontman Cameron McCloud found clarity in a hot-boxed rental car; making music with collaborators Jay Analog and Tomahawk Jonez gave him peace of mind. “He said, ‘this is my cure for paranoia.’ Instantly, everyone’s eyes lit up,” a pivotal realization that cemented the group’s moniker. When the predicted earth-shattering meteor failed to hit, inspiration struck instead. As Jonez recalls, “On the way from Amarillo to Colorado Springs, like eight songs got written.”

Since then, Cure for Paranoia has shared bills with icons ranging from George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic and Nas to Ludacris and Leon Bridges. Their resume includes stops at SXSW, Fortress Festival, and the NPR Tiny Desk Contest "On The Road" Tour, solidifying their status as festival favorites. While keen to distance themselves from standard regional production, they cultivated a signature "Trippy Soul infused hip hop" sound—a blend prioritized on their anchor project, the Work of A.R.T. EP.

Jimmy wakes up in a bathtub filled with his own blood, his wrists slit and his life rapidly nearly completion. This would be a textbook failed suicide attempt, only…Jimmy didn’t do it? At least, he’s pretty sure he didn’t. Alongside Margot, the 911 operator who took his call that faithful night, Jimmy begins an amateur-hour murder investigation, desperate to prove that this is a whodunnit and not a hedunnit. The list of suspects who might be happy if Jimmy wasn’t around anymore is fairly long—angry ex-girlfriends, frustrated siblings, exasperated psychiatrists, and resentful stepfathers. But the prime suspect is Jimmy himself.

Business/Entrepreneurial
Environment
Social Issue

This horror anthology tackles the modern work landscape through four timely perspectives – the hustle culture of an MLM, the endless repetitiveness of a food delivery driver, the online horrors of a content moderator, and the unionization of a familiar-feeling coffee shop. "Grind" shows what it means to be a worker in a world defined by wealth inequality and ruled by endlessly greedy oligarchs, one not so far removed from our own.

This is a film for anyone who's ever hated their job, had a bad boss, or felt taken advantage of at work. In other words, it's a film for all of us.

Grind

Four interconnected tales of workplace horror tackle the most terrifying aspect of modern life: making a living! With a wild tone as darkly comic as it is relevant, 'Grind' is the most fun you'll have in a late stage capitalistic hellscape.

Secret Family

Bump the mids and tap the fuzz.  Insert sway, conjure a bounce: jangle, thud, chime. A union hall for proletariat pipe dreams. Soundtracks for the world’s longest lunch break. Friends on amaro. Wind chapped melodies pulled thru the fog conduit. Sounds hung in vaped memory, old friends/new feelings. Music for garbage trucks and the babble of brooks. Anchored in Bay Area garage lust and Montana river rock. Rock for now. Rock however. Taste like always. Rock n’ roll for whomever.
