Following that breakthrough, he and his producing partners founded Rakontur, the Miami Beach-based content creation company behind some of the most iconic Florida documentaries of the last two decades. His filmography includes the acclaimed feature documentaries Cocaine Cowboys, Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja, Dawg Fight, and the ESPN 30 for 30 films The U, The U Part 2, and Broke. 🎞️ In 2019, Billy premiered two new feature documentaries, Magic City Hustle and Screwball, continuing his signature exploration of crime, culture, sports, and the strange truths of Florida life. A Florida native and lifelong Miamian, Billy brings a bold, fearless, and unmistakably local voice to documentary storytelling β€” the kind of filmmaking that dives deep into unforgettable characters and the hidden worlds beneath the headlines. Recently, he was awarded the keys to both the City of Miami and the City of Miami Beach. πŸ”‘βœ¨ πŸ—“οΈ Wednesday, May 27th | 6:30 PM πŸ“ Silverspot Cinema, Downtown Miami 🎟️ $16 online | $20 at the door 🍿 Includes a complimentary lil’ bag of popcorn 🎫 Seats are limited – grab yours now: bit.ly/FGFDOC2026 Support local film.
