Bradley Beesley
Bradley Beesley is an Austin-based Independent film and video director, producer and cinematographer. With a passion for capturing the seldom seen side of Americana, he directed the documentary Okie Noodling that explored the practice of handfishing; he delved deep into the Southern roots of the blues with the legendary R.L. Burnside in Hill Stomp Hollar; went behind the walls of the Oklahoma State Penitentiary for Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo; and captured the drama on the sidelines of high school football with Fathers of Football.
Bradley’s commercial work includes projects for brands like Target, Costa, Facebook, Jameson and Yeti, to name a few. He also brings this unique perspective to his current freelance role at the Magnolia Network, working with Chip and Joanna Gaines in producing TV and branded content.
Fathers of Football is a heartwarming documentary that explores the triumphs and struggles of life in Wagoner, Oklahoma, a small town where football serves as both the brightest stage and the best ticket out. Set against the backdrop of pervasive poverty and addiction that afflict many rural communities in America, this film captures the profound impact of football on the town and its underdog players. With football as their common purpose, the team unites the town and instills a sense of hope and belief in something greater.
