If you haven't heard of Cocaine Cowboys by now, you haven't been paying attention. The infamous pop doc fired off archival footage and firsthand accounts of Miami's cocaine wars at a breathless machine-gun pace. But it wasn't the first flick produced and directed by Billy Corben and Alfred Spellman, the celebrated documentarians behind the Miami-based studio Rakontur, and it was far from the last. This week, O Cinema will honor the 33-year-old Miami chroniclers with a five-night retrospective of their first ten years of explosive documentary filmmaking.
Though they plan to expand the scope of their raw, eye-opening films, Corben and Spellman have made it clear they're not snapping off their Miami roots anytime soon. "There aren't many cities in America that have such a wealth of material for us to pick from. Miami continues to be an inspiration for us every day," Spellman says.
