Bradley Beesley thrives on documenting the strange, nearly forgotten recesses of Americana. His career directing documentaries began by drinking moonshine with R.L. Burnside in 1999. Beesley has since directed 8 feature-length films. His documentaries include Hill Stomp Hollar (SXSW), Okie Noodling (PBS), Summercamp! (Sundance),The Creek Runs Red (POV), Okie Noodling II (PBS) and Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo (HBO)--although disparate in subject, his films have a knack for receiving both critical acclaim and dedicated cult followings.

"In the 1980's - A few disenfranchised Okie teens mastered the art of prank phone calls which became known as Park Grubbs."

Born and raised in Oklahoma, Beesley is also known for having a close working relationship with the Oklahoma-based band The Flaming Lips. In addition to directingFearless Freaks (Sundance Channel), an intimate documentary covering 15 years of their career, he co-directed the sci-fi frolic Christmas on Mars (WBR) with the band's lead singer, Wayne Coyne.
