Due to the region’s 5,000 miles of coast and coastal waterways and close proximity to the Caribbean and Latin America, South Florida was a pot smuggler’s paradise. In sharp contrast to the brazenly violent cocaine cowboys of the 1980’s, Miami’s marijuana smugglers were cooler, calmer, and for the most part, nonviolent. Square Grouper paints a vivid portrait of Miami’s pot smuggling culture in the 1970s and 1980s through three of the city’s most colorful stories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577732090338-WPSXZ6FTBWDUAC5VR4LL/the-u.jpg rakontur Home - The U Throughout the 1980s, Miami, Florida, was at the center of a racial and cultural shift taking place throughout the country. Overwhelmed by riots and tensions, Miami was a city in flux, and the University of Miami football team served as a microcosm for this evolution. The image of the predominantly white university was forever changed when coach Howard Schnellenberger scoured some of the toughest ghettos in Florida to recruit mostly black players for his team. With a newly branded swagger, inspired and fueled by the quickly growing local Miami hip hop culture, these Hurricanes took on larger-than-life personalities and won four national titles between 1983 and 1991. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577731778142-F42AA332Z42IZPCNNSS9/image-asset.jpeg rakontur Home - Cocaine Cowboys 2 In 1991, Charles Cosby was selling ounces of cocaine on the inner-city streets of Oakland, California. Bringing in a couple grand a week, he was living the new American Dream. Then he wrote a fan letter to “Cocaine Godmother” Griselda Blanco – immortalized in rakontur’s Cocaine Cowboys – who was serving time at a nearby federal prison. Six months later, he was a multi-millionaire. Charles was not only running Blanco’s $40 million a year cocaine business, he was also her lover. When she recruited him to participate in a prison break that involved the kidnapping of JFK Jr., Charles knew he was in over his head. Also known as “The Black Widow,” for her propensity to permanently dispose of her men when she’s done with them (or when they betray her), Griselda would stop at nothing to ensure that Charles was faithful to her. And he would learn that lesson the hard way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577728722483-F9116087E5LM27EUC9E5/image-asset.jpeg rakontur Home - Cocaine Cowboys The cocaine trade of the 70's and 80's had an indelible impact on contemporary Miami. Smugglers and distributors forever changed a once sleepy retirement community into one of the world’s most glamorous hot spots, the epicenter of a $20 billion annual business fed by Colombia’s Medellin cartel. By the early 80s, Miami’s tripled homicide rate had made it the murder capital of the country, for which a Time cover story dubbed the city “Paradise Lost.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577742344645-9R6ZC3ENE7UBKWAC3KVB/Raw+Deal+poster+large+copy.jpg rakontur Home - Raw Deal: A Question of Consent Raw Deal is one of the most exposing and controversial documentaries about rape and fraternity life today.

Ostensibly the story of Major League Baseball’s Biogenesis scandal, in which multiple players were implicated for using performance-enhancing drugs, Screwball is really about sports stars and businessmen who cut corners, eager to fast-forward to the part of their lives where they’re rich, famous, and partying in beachfront mansions. https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/confessions-of-a-cocaine-cowboy-boca-mag monthly 0.5 2020-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577898322480-9258TF8C5X361RDDRZ7R/Confessions+of+a+Cocaine+Cowboy rakontur news - Top 10 Stage Productions of 2019 (Boca Mag) An appropriately maximalist, larger-than-life production about a larger-than-life sociopath, Miami New Drama’s ambitious and flavorful world premiere brought fresh theatricality to the familiar story of Miami’s drug war, and the killers, cops and families caught in its crosshairs.

This is exhausted? Billy Corben’s tired makes my wired look like Steven Seagal after a couple quaaludes. I soon found that Corben is easy to wind up, loves to tell stories, and is a great salesman, which probably helps explain what makes him such great documentarian — whose mostly Florida-based ouvre includes Cocaine Cowboys (1 and 2), Dawg Fight, and The U (1 and 2). Where some documentarians seem to have a standard style guide that they merely apply to different subjects (Ken Burns’ photo zooms come to mind), Corben’s subjects seem to inspire his formalistic approach. https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/2019/3/29/screwball-documents-the-absurdity-of-a-rods-role-in-biogenesis-through-the-backdrop-of-miami-sports-illustrated monthly 0.5 2020-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577904226831-CPPVZKJ0WL906WAP86L8/Screwball+-+Sports+Illustrated rakontur news - "Screwball" Documents the Absurdity of A-Rod's Role in Biogenesis Through the Backdrop of Miami (Sports Illustrated) Screwball understands that the story it’s telling is a farce. (It’s not called “Screwball” for nothing.) The Biogenesis steroid scandal was one of the biggest in baseball history and took down one of the game’s greatest stars in Alex Rodriguez, but it reads like an Elmore Leonard novel populated exclusively with morons, or like a Coen brothers movie rewritten by the Farrelly brothers with a dash of Harmony Korine. So smartly, the documentary treats the sordid affair like the comedy it is—a saga with huge consequences, and yet one that started over a measly $4,000 debt. The result is an exhaustive yet fun retelling of the strange, stupid peak of MLB’s PED frenzy, and one well handled by Billy Corben, who produced and directed alongside his rakontur partner Alfred Spellman and who is no stranger to shining a light on Miami’s shadiest nonsense. https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/screwball-business-insider monthly 0.5 2020-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577903455375-YQFMWV7IMRBWO7G10WMK/Screen+Shot+2020-01-01+at+1.30.39+PM.png rakontur news - How the 'Cocaine Cowboys' director used the doping scandal that brought down Alex Rodriguez to create a comedic documentary about Miami gangsters (Business Insider) In the office of Rakontur, the South Florida-based production company of “Cocaine Cowboys” director Billy Corben and producer Alfred Spellman, there’s a spreadsheet that the duo have been building for most of their professional careers. It’s a unique wish list with the names of shady characters who became notorious in their hometown of Miami that they hope to one day make movies about. Checked off that list already are the figureheads behind the cocaine blizzard that hit the beaches of Miami in the 1980s, which became the subject of their breakout documentary “Cocaine Cowboys.” There’s also the outlandish University of Miami football program during the 1980s, which they profiled in “The U” as part of ESPN’s “30 for 30” documentary series. And within the last year, they were surprised to check another off the list: Biogenesis owner Dr. Anthony Bosch, better known as the man who provided performance-enhancing drugs to numerous Major League Baseball players, including Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodriguez. https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/screwball-wall-street-journal monthly 0.5 2020-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577898892297-QAXMEG9L0AMHJMFGXDE6/Screwball+-+Wall+Street+Journal rakontur news - How A-Rod Explains Modern America (Wall Street Journal) I’m not sure the filmmakers behind the new documentary “Screwball” set out to make a baseball movie that explains America—but they did. We tend to turn preachy and moralize when we talk about PEDs in sports, but “Screwball” is more like a Coen Brothers caper with Carl Hiaasen vibes. Biogenesis wasn’t some sophisticated conspiracy—it was a clown car pileup. Bosch’s clinic was an operation run by wannabes who couldn’t shoot straight, improbably entangled with some of the best baseball players in the world. Whatever could go wrong, eventually did, and that included Major League Baseball’s own clumsy investigation into the matter. The Florida-born Corben and producer Alfred Spellman were behind “Cocaine Cowboys,” the 2006 documentary about the Miami drug trade in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and as in that film, “Screwball” has an undercurrent of love for the Sunshine State’s rich tradition of start-over hustlers and “gray market” economies. Mostly everybody in “Screwball” is on the make, trying to be someone bigger than they appear to be—some figuratively, others literally. https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/rakontur-day-city-of-miami-beach-october-18-2018 monthly 0.5 2020-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578174440320-AUWND2LUWBIZOQEO58D9/rakontur+Day+Miami+Beach+proclamation rakontur news - rakontur Day declared in City of Miami Beach https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/complex-100-best-movies-of-the-2000s-cocaine-cowboys monthly 0.5 2020-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578273198069-HDUJKDCUSW58LMV6VVEA/COMPLEX+Magazine rakontur news - The 100 Best Movies of the 2000s: #27 Cocaine Cowboys (Complex) - The 100 Best Movies of the 2000s #27 Cocaine Cowboys: Scarface was cool, yeah, but Corben's documentary featuring some of Miami's biggest snowmen tells you what really went down in the '70s and '80s when the economy was shit but successful drug runners were copping whips and crashing them for fun.

It's Corben, you see, who has been charged with picking up lunch for the Rakontur crew. And more times than not, lunch is from Blue Collar.

And Wayne is a friend of mine and that was a story I found interesting having lived in L.A. -- I had just moved to L.A. maybe two years prior to the Gretzky trade. That was a huge deal for me. Having Wayne in L.A. was an incredible, very exciting time. But what ESPN did with 30 for 30 was remarkable. I credit those guys. Bill Simmons is a good friend. He's the one that basically said, "You're doing this and you're going first." Looking back I wish I had a little more time maybe. But The U was my favorite. https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/category/Limelight monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/category/Film+Festivals monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/category/Cocaine+Cowboys monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/category/The+U monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/category/Confessions monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/category/Press+Clippings monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/category/Screwball monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/category/Broke monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/category/rakontur monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/category/Cocaine+Cowboys+2 monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/category/Square+Grouper monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Noel+Murray monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/UPROXX monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Business+Insider monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/CNN monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/espn monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Billy+Corben monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Sports+Illustrated monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Parts+Unknown monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Confessions+of+a+Cocaine+Cowboy monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Anthony+Bourdain monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/film+festivals monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/ESPN monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Cocaine+Cowboys+2 monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Broke monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Complex monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Square+Grouper monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Cocaine+Cowboys monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Alex+Rodriguez monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/The+U monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/ratings monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/hip+hop monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Men%27s+Health monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/American+Way monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Griselda+Blanco monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Blue+Collar monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Biogenesis monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Polygon monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/documentary monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Young+Jeezy monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Francisco+Alvarado monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Florida+Man monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Jason+Guerrasio monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Boca+Mag monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/The+Game monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Videomaker monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Mark+Samuelian monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Florida monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Screwball monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Miami monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Limelight monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Jon+Tayler monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Jason+Gay monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Alfred+Spellman monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Miami+Beach monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/30+for+30 monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Peter+Berg monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/Wall+Street+Journal monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-news/tag/BAFICI monthly 0.5 https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-press-clippings daily 0.75 2020-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578284117150-9IF4EHWPX550PYTSWO6I/rakontur+Businessweek.jpg rakontur Press Clippings -

To this day, the most famous brand names associated with power boating were the creation of Don Aronow - Cigarette, Formula, Donzi, Blue Thunder. Aronow was a handsome family man who moved to Miami after making a fortune in New Jersey construction, but soon became world famous as a champion boat racer and international businessman, selling boats and fostering close personal relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. But in Miami in the 1980s, the most formidable group with a need for speed on the water who also could afford the astronomical sticker prices on Don Aronow¹s Go-Fast boats were drug smugglers. Collision Course: The Murder of Don Aronow recounts the rarely told fast life and times of one of the world¹s most intriguing adventurers and explores, Don Aronow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578125267576-GBCYA6WQU1Y5D50DU5A2/5img044.jpg+-+historical+museum.jpg Collision Course - Don Aronow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578125269434-R6YU3ZFHOYG391JRCS2G/3img014+historical+uncleared.jpg Collision Course - Donzi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578125272448-1XS54IM8SGCWOOH9MV8Q/4img028+historical+uncleared.jpg Collision Course https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578158005676-KSVZF8UZ1JNKEOHOE207/13aronow05.jpg Collision Course - Magnum Marine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578158019953-LOSEWNV44KPL5X01DMJD/6aronow12.jpg Collision Course - Don Aronow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578158090770-LZ6BJKN40LM1HON8HDIK/5aronow15.jpg Collision Course - Don Aronow and George Bush https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578125273564-5G2GBEOVH9JKCBWYLAQ0/2crime+scene+Aronow+car+Apache+in+BG.jpg Collision Course - Don Aronow murder scene https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578125279808-6WD15XC9ABX9D6TPB8TH/1Benjamin+Kramer+case-1993-007-TC.jpg Collision Course - Benjamin Barry Kramer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578125266651-YXDTCMV4T959R8TSYZXH/6Mickey+Munday+interview+shot.jpg Collision Course - Mickey Munday https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578124430359-K1UJNDL7TTVLARMNOLPQ/1articls+from+CD-006.jpg Collision Course https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578124439268-6TE0FFCYS1NOANQRN3S8/18Herald-SpeedboatKingsDeathStillAPuzzle.jpg Collision Course https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578124437521-V1G16E3V348XP52WQZQO/17Herald-TwoChargedIn87SlayingofAronow-3-25-93.jpg Collision Course https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578124444981-MDVAEWKKRRTG7HRM6XJ6/Herald-AronowKilling-FrontPage-6-13-90-001_Herald-AronowKilling-FrontPage-6-13-90-002.jpg Collision Course https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578124430599-OB2FD6GMWBE0LJXK6PSW/2Herald-BoatRacerTakesPleaInKilling-9-26-96.jpg Collision Course https://www.rakontur.com/dawg-fight daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1613675200743-8CM6K5UTPH623BOP4J6A/Dawg+Fight+poster+v1+elements+final+copy+2.jpg Dawg Fight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1426004805026-GDSA937890X1VXWB6DGC/image-asset.jpeg Dawg Fight In the gritty streets of West Perrine, Florida — a forgotten two-square-mile stretch of South Miami-Dade where violence is routine and opportunity scarce — survival is a daily fight. With over a third of residents unemployed and many men dead or imprisoned before thirty, dreams here are short-lived. But one man refuses to go quietly. Dhafir “Dada 5000” Harris, a towering 6’3”, 270-pound force with a mohawk and a mission, once fought alongside his childhood friend, the late Kimbo Slice. When Kimbo’s camp buried footage of Dada’s explosive debut — afraid he’d steal the spotlight — Dada turned from fighter to founder. He carved out his own arena, transforming his mother’s backyard into a raw, makeshift coliseum for the desperate and the fearless. No referees. No medics. Just pride, pain, and a promise of fast cash. Dada’s backyard fight league became an underground phenomenon — a brutal stage where men brawled bare-knuckled not for fame, but for survival. In this blood-and-concrete battleground, Dada emerged as the self-made Don King of the streets, channeling chaos into something resembling hope. Dawg Fight dives into this world where the American Dream is stripped to its rawest form — two men, one ring, and the will to rise above the wreckage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577738888873-BM0NH6NYETDWFVG1GWJP/Dawg+Fight+-+Rolling+Stone Dawg Fight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577738872230-H9MB994BBZVXJKIMO4ZR/Dawg+Fight+-+Esquire Dawg Fight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577738908854-S9YO8ZZM4OATNK7P6CMC/Dawg+Fight+-+Miami+Herald Dawg Fight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577738927788-NZLZL7ISRO3ZH9E77I50/Dawg+Fight+-+Miami+New+Times Dawg Fight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577738852809-XEQB3T1OPPPD95MP0CYM/Dawg+Fight+-+Maxim Dawg Fight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577738826639-7R0TBRZ39JT7NRCO5NPB/Dawg+Fight+-+The+Guardian Dawg Fight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578158509080-H5PUD5OU0M8SWQ249TZX/2Maxim+Dec+2011+Dawg+Fight+%28dragged%293.jpg Dawg Fight - Maxim, 12/2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578158511251-JZIHMREKEF8UZX9GYBC7/1Maxim+Dec+2011+Dawg+Fight+%28dragged%29.jpg Dawg Fight - Maxim, 12/2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578158509999-YWEKLWJCB1RH2165EBG9/3Maxim+Dec+2011+Dawg+Fight+%28dragged%29+2.jpg Dawg Fight - Maxim, 12/2011 https://www.rakontur.com/cocaine-cowboys-reloaded daily 0.75 2024-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1424123694623-HS8U1YNI83RNC4WMYPDV/poster+ccr.jpg Cocaine Cowboys: Reloaded https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577949374032-4OHBU2GJCQ6MK9CK1NT5/Cocaine+Cowboys+Reloaded+header Cocaine Cowboys: Reloaded https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577765124196-B9WPC504NQTAL4WUIZNC/Cocaine+Cowboys+Reloaded+Blu+Ray Cocaine Cowboys: Reloaded In the 1980s, ruthless Colombian cocaine barons invaded Miami with a brand of violence unseen in this country since Prohibition-era Chicago. Cocaine Cowboys is the true story of how Miami became the drug, murder and cash capital of the United States. But it isn’t the whole story… Pulling from hundreds of hours of additional interviews and recently uncovered archival news footage, Cocaine Cowboys has been RELOADED: packed with footage and stories that have never been told about Griselda Blanco, the Medellín Cartel, and Miami’s Cocaine Wars, with firsthand accounts by hitman Jorge ‘Rivi’ Ayala, cocaine trafficker Jon Roberts, smuggler Mickey Munday, and others. Cocaine Cowboys: Reloaded recreates Miami’s Cocaine Wars like you’ve never experienced it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577735791549-NVQS9HBTCLJHZOAO3I0S/Cocaine+Cowboys+Reloaded+-+Upcoming+Discs Cocaine Cowboys: Reloaded https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577735906189-5TBU22XL4PLA0DDYBWP9/Cocaine+Cowboys+Reloaded+-+Letterboxd Cocaine Cowboys: Reloaded https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577948157291-K4UVNPF2YDOWUTLWD8OX/Barry+Seal.jpg Cocaine Cowboys: Reloaded -

The eye-patch-sporting Ontario native built and oversaw a Manhattan empire that counted tens of thousands of patrons per night in its peak years, acting as a conduit for a culture that, for many, defined the image of an era in New York. Then years of legal battles and police pressure spearheaded by Mayor Giuliani’s determined crackdown on nightlife in the mid-’90s led to Gatien’s eventual deportation to Canada, and the shuttering of his glitzy kingdom. Featuring insider interviews with famous players in the club scene as well as key informants in Gatien’s high-profile trial, Billy Corben’s exuberant documentary aims to set the record straight about Gatien’s life as it charts his rise and fall against the transformation of New York, offering a wild ride through a now-closed chapter in the history of the city’s nightlife. 2011 Tribeca Film

shift taking place throughout the country. Overwhelmed by riots and tensions, Miami was a city in flux, and the University of Miami football team served as a microcosm for this evolution. The image of the predominantly white university was forever changed when coach Howard Schnellenberger scoured some of the toughest ghettos in Florida to recruit mostly black players for his team. With a newly branded swagger, inspired and fueled by the quickly growing local Miami hip hop culture, these Hurricanes took on larger-than-life personalities and won four national titles between 1983 and 1991. Filmmaker Billy Corben, a Miami native and University of Miami alum, will tell the story of how these “Bad Boys” of football changed the attitude of the game they played, and how this serene campus was transformed into “The U.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577736898983-R2U1CR48OZ7KNBM5E8ND/The+U+-+Miami+Herald The U https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577736873439-U6PKWMP1DY5T0INWS9MG/The+U+-+ESPN The U https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578283550891-DSRIQKGZ41D58JS3Y1KP/The+U+-+Sports+Illustrated+Ranking+the+Best+30+for+30 The U https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577736769494-IJ4XNT87TD8IK6YKLSNF/The+U+-+AV+Club The U https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577736826528-3E5YQ0FFT4T9680286I8/The+U+-+Variety The U https://www.rakontur.com/broke daily 0.75 2024-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1424111545672-ATLM1715GADMTNWBN5HY/7109969847_81d5557b4b.jpg Broke https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1424111065611-MH906L06ZD5VA5NRTOE7/Broke Broke According to a 2009 Sports Illustrated article, 60 percent of NBA players are broke within five years of retirement. For 78 percent of NFL players, it takes only three years. Sucked into bad investments, stalked by freeloaders, saddled with medical problems, and naturally prone to showing off, most pro athletes get shocked by harsh economic realities after years of living the high life. Drawing surprisingly vulnerable confessions from retired stars like Jamal Mashburn, Bernie Kosar, and Andre Rison, as well as Marvin Miller, the former executive director of the MLB Players Association, this fascinating documentary digs into the psychology of men whose competitive nature carries them to victory on the field and ruin off it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577737262708-12QKVNS5SIIE8NP5Q1XV/Broke+-+Miami+Herald Broke https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577737192316-A2QT0G46Q2D7V0ZOLN3R/Broke+-+Complex Broke https://www.rakontur.com/cocaine-cowboys-2 daily 0.75 2024-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1424123452524-5DIB75BAT1RNOTRTYMG8/poster+cc2.JPG Cocaine Cowboys 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1424115921090-TA6DT39DFNI8KM6CB4QD/Cocaine+Cowboys+2 Cocaine Cowboys 2 In 1991, Charles Cosby was selling ounces of cocaine on the inner-city streets of Oakland, California. Bringing in a couple grand a week, he was living the new American Dream. Then he wrote a fan letter to “Cocaine Godmother” Griselda Blanco – immortalized in rakontur’s Cocaine Cowboys – who was serving time at a nearby federal prison. Six months later, he was a multi-millionaire. Charles was not only running Blanco’s $40 million a year cocaine business, he was also her lover. When she recruited him to participate in a prison break that involved the kidnapping of JFK Jr., Charles knew he was in over his head. Also known as “The Black Widow,” for her propensity to permanently dispose of her men when she’s done with them (or when they betray her), Griselda would stop at nothing to ensure that Charles was faithful to her. And he would learn that lesson the hard way. This is the story of a kid from the streets who (literally) gets in bed with a Colombian queenpin.

But that wasn't the end of the story. "The U Part 2" picks up where the original film left off, with the program trying to recover from the devastation left by NCAA sanctions and scandals that had some calling for the school to drop football. The Hurricanes rose from those ashes to win another national championship, only to face new controversies when a booster used a Ponzi scheme to win favor with the program. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577737683710-KGH503HPKKAVXN4B58A2/The+U+Part+2+-+Miami+New+Times The U Part 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577737627492-U61DTW4N1U7X0MUPS4DF/The+U+Part+2+-+Sports+Illustrated The U Part 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577737657480-8UX3DW5YTADU9DM5NIUR/The+U+Part+2+-+AV+Club The U Part 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577737710747-SUB8RGBPF0VAO2JYEM5Y/The+U+Part+2+-+Variety The U Part 2 https://www.rakontur.com/cocaine-cowboys daily 0.75 2024-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1424123392819-DYFA2RYOCPKCB6OSD283/poster+cc.jpg Cocaine Cowboys https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/91b6bf20-989f-4a82-ad63-cff87f213349/Cocaine+Cowboys+DVD Cocaine Cowboys The cocaine trade of the 70's and 80's had an indelible impact on contemporary Miami. Smugglers and distributors forever changed a once sleepy retirement community into one of the world’s most glamorous hot spots, the epicenter of a $20 billion annual business fed by Colombia’s Medellin cartel. By the early 80s, Miami’s tripled homicide rate had made it the murder capital of the country, for which a Time cover story dubbed the city “Paradise Lost.” With Cocaine Cowboys, filmmaker Billy Corben paints a dazzling portrait of a cultural explosion that still echoes as Hollywood myth. Composer of the original “Miami Vice” theme, Jan Hammer, provides the score. 2006 Tribeca FIlm Festival (World Premiere) 2007 Deauville Film Festival (Intl Premiere) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577763853998-A6FZNBS85NNMJZRN24D4/Rotten+Tomatoes Cocaine Cowboys https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786104990-YDTKLKXISV9D0KWUXF7N/JonRoberts2.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Jon Roberts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786104971-3Z7SXIZ6NL570M9OANVS/JonRoberts.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Jon Roberts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786105815-4Z9XSS5VMJB48HEXU97B/JonRoberts3.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Jon Roberts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786108020-VLFMXUGQ8RKC1XCYZF0X/MickeyMunday3.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Mickey Munday https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786106810-6KHR78ZNSO5CM48T0CYO/MickeyMunday.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Mickey Munday https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786106939-54M005UWY2XW4P9RB737/MickeyMunday2.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Mickey Munday https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786106004-PSPZOKW21ISMPK7Y1N7K/JorgeRivera.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Jorge 'Rivi' Ayala https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786221080-RT3QQDR53UK6F1D8TD2V/Rivi2.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Jorge 'Rivi' Ayala https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786248121-PNDQ8CLRZNXZ6UU6QCJX/Rivi+-+Broward.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Jorge 'Rivi' Ayala https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786311701-X07Q3JYE4A74C8U9EBH2/Griselda-laidout.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Griselda Blanco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786295697-3N5IR7Y5HRDGPCLTNLZD/Griselda+b%26wB.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Griselda Blanco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786779061-4EO5Q9PAZVCG3VGIJA6N/cocaine-cowboys-theatrical-one-sheet_1392540544_o.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Cocaine Cowboys theatrical poster https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786776270-VKIBL186YFZQ0L2AOZJP/cocaine-cowboys-dvd-box_511161015_o.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Cocaine Cowboys DVD box https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1728786772182-D38XK8GR1BPSR8N5RJ5E/cocaine-cowboys-dvd_511151418_o.jpg Cocaine Cowboys - Cocaine Cowboys DVD https://www.rakontur.com/the-tanning-of-america daily 0.75 2024-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1424123654340-0ZAVROWQDQ7X5XNK53BT/pg+16+tanning+poster.jpg The Tanning of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1424117304595-HDLT99816RHAFCW5LXHM/the-tanning-of-america.jpg The Tanning of America VH1 teamed up with acclaimed filmmakers Billy Corben and Alfred Spellman and famed author, award-winning entrepreneur, advertising executive, and record executive Steve Stoute for a 4-part documentary series based on Stoute’s best-selling book, “The Tanning of America: How Hip-Hop Created a Culture That Rewrote the Rules of the New Economy.” VH1’s “The Tanning of America: One Nation Under Hip Hop” is a thorough examination of hip-hop as a cultural movement, whose profound influence in music, film, television, fashion, business, race relations and politics eventually paved the way for the election of Barack Obama. Stoute notes, “Since its birth, hip-hop has been a reflection of black America, but never before have we seen it cast as such a far-reaching agent of political change. This film paints an entirely new picture of the impact of hip-hop culture over the last 30 years.” https://www.rakontur.com/square-grouper-the-godfathers-of-ganja daily 0.75 2024-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1424123506913-W00H07AWJAOH9CZW3F48/poster+square+grouper.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1424116738807-MOLPAVWS9FAJ589PEBYJ/square-grouper-the-godfathers-of-ganja.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja In 1979, the US Customs Service reported that 87% of all marijuana seizures in the US were made in the South Florida area. Due to the region’s 5,000 miles of coast and coastal waterways and close proximity to the Caribbean and Latin America, South Florida was a pot smuggler’s paradise. In sharp contrast to the brazenly violent cocaine cowboys of the 1980’s, Miami’s marijuana smugglers were cooler, calmer, and for the most part, nonviolent. Square Grouper paints a vivid portrait of Miami’s pot smuggling culture in the 1970s and 1980s through three of the city’s most colorful stories. 2011 SxSW (World Premiere) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577738086288-D37N1XODAZRSWA1ONKZN/Square+Grouper+-+Moving+Pictures+Magazine Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577738156281-1CNCF531TFBQWZZM4V5D/Square+Grouper+-+Salon Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577738116990-2UEUWLCVZLHEVK37WARH/Square+Grouper+-+Miami+New+Times Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577738135278-A9V3ATH5FSIEHRBI3SVE/Square+Grouper+-+IFC Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577738062288-QGSNASVU2J6JKQ7WX3VY/Square+Grouper+-+AV+Club Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577762280069-IFROCPF9XIVH93457N4E/Rotten+Tomatoes Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578121664102-QP0DRLZHOIEFPARXE041/Picture+3.png Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578121669380-WRSIJJ488R620ZQHCUM7/Picture+1_Picture+23.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578121680568-UXGFCJJ5SDH1ZKM7T1IJ/Picture+1_Picture+2.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578121707354-G44MSC17G4RCCS342GEF/6Picture+1.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578121827827-8JVYDBNN2UDSIWLPL00A/Picture+1.png Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578121926618-F61DNUQR109IENVDGJG1/Picture+1.png Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578122239265-9LPT9132I65DLD7DBBJA/Picture+1.png Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578122561902-641L54XI1E1HJ9EZMIIC/Picture+1_Picture+2-01.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578122562518-2HVE0GQ0K0W6M14Z9GMT/Picture+1_Picture+2-00.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578122564122-FUR1AYVTP1UMXUJM9HJV/Picture+1_Picture+2-0.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578122565564-TK6Z8O11LQJ0CVZ8A3SM/Picture+1_Picture+2-10.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578122566910-YKLC6Y8SPDP1U3POQLHA/Picture+1_Picture+2-4.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578122568835-Q1BNZR6H4H4JZ1VSPNQT/Picture+1_Picture+3.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578122570722-ZKUB1JSFRQM3SB2OGDAX/Picture+1_Picture+23.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578122571235-E69ABMW10QWQK3VBDG8C/Picture+1_Picture+5.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578122575241-76F606OQ7LRXCC1NKU69/Picture+1_Picture+4.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577951489102-66FHXQY3CZO8U8UX29B6/Godfather_ganja_rev5.jpg Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja -

theater event sure to join its cinematic predecessors as a cult classic.

Screwball Recounting the high-profile doping scandal that rocked Major League Baseball, director Billy Corben (Cocaine Cowboys) takes us into the surreal Miami underworld that provided performance-enhancing drugs to Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez and other star players. They say South Florida is a sunny place for shady people and this is certainly true of steroid peddler Anthony Bosch and his most notorious client, Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees. While Bosch's medical credentials may be lacking, his storytelling skills are first rate as he hilariously details the rise and fall of his health clinic, including mob connections, financial chicanery, his cocaine habit, and Rodriguez's eccentric behavior. The documentary plays like a madcap Floridian crime comedy in the vein of Elmore Leonard or the Coen Brothers while it raises serious questions about the ethics of professional sports. Powerful interests would be happy to let this story slip from memory, but Screwball makes it unforgettable. 2018 Toronto International Film Festival (World Premiere) 2018 DOC NYC (USA Premiere) 2019 Palm Springs International Film Festival 2019 Miami Intl Film Festival (Audience Award) 2019 Tempo Documentary Festival (Intl Premiere) 2019 DOCVILLE Intl Documentary Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577739585614-LOT7QI9XDCUPSQJ0QTM1/Screwball+-+Chicago+Tribune Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577739915097-1PNJS0VSGLTO0LH3IAWQ/Screwball+-+Roger+Ebert Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577739686920-5D3YDRFCT6VWJVJ2T467/Screwball+-+The+Daily+Beast Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577739732768-PRF61169CCFWENDDAM42/Screwball+-+The+Wrap Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577739651919-582E7GLV3M1P1TYU4YZD/Screwball+-+The+Ringer Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577739666689-RD4XZDDN6MVEQVH75L5A/Screwball+-+Los+Angeles+Times Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577739609433-QH2H39JLU2U1FHISVGJP/Screwball+-+Sports+Illustrated Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577739932990-5FIL6ADMG4UWXRSBKDEJ/Screwball+-+Uproxx Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577739953479-7OX8AK92P9ZXMKP9ESJK/Screwball+-+Wall+Street+Journal Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577739629135-BH06MMI3TK2QOU8GGY5D/Screwball+-+The+Detroit+News Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577739898024-E8CD6BKJI75LHZD3IUZV/Screwball+-+POV Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577762476689-ZLUILX46VYJY4MVLA2QB/Rotten+Tomatoes Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577952167016-Z6IQ7RQC04WF6HIW4BQU/Arod+intro.png Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577952104951-NBSJ1505REJE52O1N3TO/Porter.png Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577952206755-QQMYAX1XZOP7I1T32VAC/Screwball+-+Porter+Fischer+and+cop.png Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577952252692-KRSZ9JCACL1842L8QVKE/Tony+2.png Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577952236515-7S0VUU3RQFSHD6STHR6O/TONY+-+syringe.jpeg Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577952090877-YU8HLWGELLWT58GR93MR/TONY+-+lounge.jpeg Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577952118334-V0N1X8AJGB6H1D24BXDP/Tony+mad.png Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577952187030-JNF1FLYW3MG9V1OUDI8K/carbone+brothers.png Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577952192981-WE6QCEGH6JG17YP50U9T/Screwball+-+MLB+investigators.png Screwball https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577952134209-CE404RHN2U2LAHVM1FBG/MLB+arbitration+1.png Screwball https://www.rakontur.com/magic-city-hustle daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1564502549420-KTBV2WHWG1WBETPSDA6N/Magic+City+Hustle Magic City Hustle WORLD PREMIERE - 2019 Miami Film Festival Documentary Achievement Award When the dream ends, the hustle begins. After their glory days with the Miami Hurricanes, a group of ex-football players get one last shot at going pro — only this time, it’s not on the gridiron. It’s on the jai alai court. At the Magic City Casino, a loophole in Florida law means the house needs a jai alai team to keep its gambling license. So, the former Canes strap on helmets, grab cestas, and try to master a sport that hurls a goatskin ball at 170 mph — and where nobody’s played in decades. Director Billy Corben turns this improbable comeback story into a funny, fast-paced portrait of reinvention in the Magic City — a place where everyone’s got a hustle, and sometimes, that hustle finds you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577949130136-PPRQF4K3EGAOGNFLP6UY/MagicCityHustle_Casino_Cafe.jpg Magic City Hustle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577949128323-1DZJ22E6XZUEO38V7L7I/MagicCityHustle_Couple_Dancing.jpg Magic City Hustle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577949137246-MJ73OL9VGXXOYN9AN38P/MagicCityHustle_Game_Play.jpg Magic City Hustle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577949163041-OPFQOM0FCJNPXRIG64JZ/MagicCityHustle_GroupShot.jpg Magic City Hustle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577949146263-8VLQYCUQMMVPRYK22KCO/MagicCityHustle_Gun_Range.jpg Magic City Hustle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577949153361-P0V3YTMMQMOEBAX2OLHD/MagicCityHustle_LockerRoom.jpg Magic City Hustle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577949161027-RVB20OOEMA0VPLOHJ8X4/MagicCityHustle_Player_Cage.jpg Magic City Hustle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577949167841-PAU9YWDAXPBB0CLOLF3O/MagicCityHustle_Player_with_Daughter.jpg Magic City Hustle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577949172660-EIR6VI90WRF6RE4P6XBO/MagicCityHustle_Player_with_Jersey.jpg Magic City Hustle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577949181318-WZFQF66S00SIJBMDZS69/MagicCityHustle_Players_2_Shot.jpg Magic City Hustle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577949182610-529CEUKXF80T0E7A3KFE/MagicCityHustle_Recording_Studio.jpg Magic City Hustle https://www.rakontur.com/miami-beach-100-2015 daily 0.75 2024-10-12 https://www.rakontur.com/the-archive daily 0.75 2019-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577764430354-XXVNIO2AND1C8NY71PJH/rakontur+Miami+Herald+7%2F28%2F2006 The Archive Miami Herald, July 28, 2006 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577764543946-SQK7H4SYSVI4JF3RMOJ7/rakontur+City+Link The Archive City Link, February 7-13, 2007 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577770417601-14PX75T3CJ29C1YW5444/2367370534_04fff4ea8a_b.jpg The Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577770823604-5URWFURYDUIE4R3GZV3J/the_doc_doctors.png The Archive https://www.rakontur.com/rakontur-10th-anniversary-retrospective-2012-miami-o-cinema daily 0.75 2024-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578186354715-CA09OSN41AQPBZ33Q06W/rakontur+front+vfinal+72dpi.jpg rakontur 10th anniversary retrospective (2012) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1577764880421-HL7IIUZ3VIPFX0OS7OU5/tropical+life.png rakontur 10th anniversary retrospective (2012) “Here is a most unusual kind of haven in Miami — one where the business of movies, the craft of filmmaking and the love of cinema all intersect. No wonder they want to keep the location quiet. Here, too, is something you won’t find anywhere else in South Florida: A multimedia company with a decade’s worth of work that has earned national attention; several intriguing projects in the pipeline (including what is likely to be their most commercial film to date); and absolutely no plans to ever relocate. The bond between Corben, Spellman and Cypkin — who are all 33, became friends at Highland Oaks Middle School, made their first short film in high school and co-founded rakontur in 2001 — has grown stronger with each of their successes.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578186270478-343YLL53N0METYYNVYH8/photo+%287%29.JPG rakontur 10th anniversary retrospective (2012) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e20e48e4b0cb82a5aca3d2/1578183558962-NJU9DLRILOSRZEMUAXXT/7743049.87.jpg rakontur 10th anniversary retrospective (2012) -

Bella Rose and the Poetry of Nightlife “I'm talkin' about a bar, whiskey pure and Zen simple, conceived in the heat of a moment by two men burned out by too many tepid nights on a lukewarm town. The men -- Brooklyn-born Keith Paciello and Miami's own Alfred Spellman -- believed that there had to be more than what the strip had been offering, so they decided to build something themselves. And build they did, in a two-month flash of blood, sweat and moxie. So while the latest crop of so-called club kingpins went in search of the next last reality show contestant, the people got it. See, what the come-latelies failed to realize is that real folk don't play at reality, they live it.
