Dallas Does Europe (2017 - 2026)
Series by We're Done Here Productions Co-Creator/Field Producer/On Camera Talent Dallas Does Europe is a 9-episode mock-reality web series following Dallas Nexus, an international hip-hop star from Dallas, Texas, as he embarks on his first tour outside the United States. Framed as a self-produced travel reality show, the series quickly unravels into a chaotic, hilarious portrait of American confidence colliding head-on with European culture. Dallas is determined to “educate” audiences about the places he visits—despite hating the food, misunderstanding public transportation, questioning why people “talk weird,” and confidently inventing facts in real time. Through confessionals and on-the-ground interviews, he projects his ego onto every city, turning cultural curiosity into unapologetic misinterpretation. Blending mockumentary storytelling with real music written and performed by Jacob Miguel (as Dallas) alongside producer Douglas Pendleton (N28IV, “Intuitive”), the series features staged concerts inside real European venues, blurring the line between performance and parody. What emerges is slapstick reality gold with an unexpected edge—a sharp, funny commentary on globalization, celebrity, and the uniquely American urge to explain the world before understanding it.

Here We Are (2019) (2015 - 2019)
by Lonely Giant / David Bellarosa Producer/Second Unit AD A restless young writer, buried in debt and drifting through a stagnant, slacker existence, dreams of escaping toward the mythic promise of the great American unknown. With no safety net and no clear path forward, he makes a desperate but calculated decision: he checks himself into a paid medical research facility, enduring experimental trials in order to wipe out his debt, repair his aging RV, and finally take to the open road. Inside the sterile walls of the clinic, time slows. The outside world fades into fluorescent light, routine check-ins, and the quiet hum of machines. What begins as a purely transactional sacrifice soon becomes something more complicated when he meets a sharp, enigmatic young woman participating in the same study. Beneath her guarded exterior is a kindred restlessness - someone equally trapped between who she has been and who she might become. As the two navigate the strange limbo of the facility, their connection deepens through late-night conversations, shared vulnerabilities, and dreams of reinvention. For the first time, the writer begins to question whether escape is something you chase alone. The RV waiting outside no longer represents just freedom - it becomes a choice. A crossroads. But both carry emotional baggage heavier than any debt. Old wounds, unresolved relationships, and deeply ingrained fears of intimacy threaten to sabotage what could be the beginning of something real. As their time in the facility comes to an end and the world outside beckons, they must decide whether to retreat into old patterns or risk stepping into the unknown together. At its heart, the film is a tender, introspective exploration of modern drift, romantic vulnerability, and the fragile courage it takes not just to leave, but to commit.
