In 2021, Freestyle Digital Media acquired Nick Frangione’s BUCK RUN, starring James Le Gros (DRUGSTORE COWBOY) and Nolan Lyons (BOARDWALK EMPIRE), for release on over 10 VOD platforms including DIRECTV and Amazon Prime. Shot by Anna Franquesa Solano (THE FAREWELL, EXPATS), the atmospheric drama premiered opening weekend at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.

Critics praised BUCK RUN as “Evocative,” “Timelessly Melancholy” (Dennis Harvey, Variety), and “A masterly done meditation on America’s working-class dilemma, broken fatherhood, abandonment, and acceptance” (Brazilian Press).

Frangione’s debut feature, ROXIE, is also available on Amazon Prime. Tommy Cook of Collider called it “a tragedy about lives spent reliving the past, an unmasking of the harsh realities of time and aging, on the need for a real connection… It’s a testament to zero-budget filmmaking and how even the smallest of films can possess the greatest of ambitions.”

Frangione’s work is marked by intimate, character-driven storytelling rooted in emotional realism and a strong visual aesthetic. He continues to develop bold, genre-blending projects that explore human connection and transformation.

He is a co-founder of filmmaker collective Autotelic Pictures, dedicated to globally focused work that is brave, inventive, and embraces our global capacity for change.
