Powell Parker

I’ve always had a deep obsession with American history—not the sanitized textbook version, but the real, complicated people who actually lived it. Somewhere along the way, film lost interest in the raw truths that built this country in favor of safe, predictable formulas.

I started Parker Films to bring dynamic, forgotten history back to the big screen. I care about historical accuracy and the people history overlooked—their grit, their flaws, and the impossible situations they faced. Whether it’s Doc Holliday’s untold war in 1879 New Mexico or a Marine veteran betting his last $5,000 in Vegas to build an aviation empire, I build films around stories that are grounded, authentic, and true.
