EMMY and TELLY Award-winning filmmaker Bruce Caulk McAlester is a DGA director, writer, and producer known for character-driven storytelling. His feature CON MAN, released by Sony Pictures in 2018, premiered at the Laemmle Theater and screened at the Directors Guild of America. Based on the true story of teen fraudster Barry Minkow, the film stars James Caan, Ving Rhames, Mark Hamill, and other acclaimed actors.Bruce is currently developing his next film, TRAVEL BALL—a family drama set in the high-stakes world of youth sports, where teen athletes face intense parental pressure. As a parent of student-athletes and director of PHENOMS for ABC Family, Bruce brings firsthand insight into this $75B industry. His original screenplay offers a raw, compelling look at teen athletes, the parents who push them, and the coaches and systems that profit from it all.Bruce produced and directed CHELSEA’S LIGHT, released in 2015 and received the prestigious “Golden Eagle Award”. The film explores the underbelly of sexual predators and was told thru the eyes of Tyler King, who lost his 17-year-old sister Chelsea when she set out for a run and never returned.The attraction to memorable characters in dramatic films started for Bruce at an early age. His stepfather, literary agent Evarts Ziegler, introduced Bruce to the writings of his many clients including Robert Towne (Chinatown), Mario Puzo (The Godfather) and Larry Gelbart (MASH). Since then, storytelling has been his passion.
