He must be part carnie, Indian name is Buffalo, he did his first Wild West show in 1983, Buffalo

Bill Cody did his first in 1883, Cody was born in 1846, Benford in 1946.  Standley had a country

rock n' roll band in '67, when he was in college and riding bulls in rodeos, then landed in Austin

when the Armadillos started the party, and began to produce concerts, albums and manage

some of the Gonzo characters, then Willie came to town and life was never the same...he has

worked with most of the outlaw legends, and boarded the Super informational highway in 94.

Meanwhile back at the ranch...he hooked up with Haggard and Dylan, Les Paul and Ramblin'

Jack Elliott, Clapton, and the train won't stop till the fat lady sings to the cows coming home,

or the cows come home to the fat lady singing.  He has 4 children and three granddaughters,

he's a part time single dad in Paso with two of them, lived here for 3 years, and owns a home,

when he's not on the road with Merle Haggard, Dylan and Haggard, or on the road shooting

two documentaries he is producing...one year ago got off the road and now owns a home

here in cowboy wine country, but stills sometimes does lunch in Hollywood, or meets up with

the outlaws on the road somewhere...

Kylee Jepsen

Associate Producer

 

When she was just knee high Kylee knew that she wanted to be in the entertainment
industry. From her first acting gig as a love-stricken heroin, and her first tap class with
Gregory Hines she wanted to dance her way on to stage. As the years went by and as her
dance career took off, she began directing dance teams and shows all over California and
Nevada. After winning some national awards, she decided to take herself one of them film
classes at the university. Finding a new fascination with film and editing she wanted to know
all she could. After some hard work she landed herself a job editing documentaries for an
online newspaper where she won awards for her cutting edge work. She got herself one of
them degrees in digital media and if that wasn't enough decided she wanted to learn how

to create them websites too, and she knows Final Cut Pro...wow.  She might be a newbie

to the business but she sure knows her stuff, and we're glad she is on the team...

 

 

Sara Zotovich

 

None too many folks can claim that she was the youngest person EVER to work at the Oscars,

 but our Sara can. While still in high school she got the golden opportunity of walking one Mr.

Clint Eastwood to his seat.  Can that be beat?   She also was a Press Page at the Emmy

Awards, and has done Production Assistant work.  She is tough as vinegar and full of nails, set

to graduate early from that prestigious school of film, Chapman University, where she can folly

with the best of 'em, (word is Mel Gibson son is at this U).  When she's not on the beach show-

ing off her volleyball skills, or tuning her tenor sax, this world traveler, former New Zealand

resident, is a new yet significant addition to our PRDFF team, and we are glad to have her.

 

 

Sara  Mora  Ivicevich

 

Was born and raised in the town that Merle Haggard now resides, which makes it even more

strange that her and Buffalo Benford met up in Hollyweird, when he brought her on board to

help him edit a trailer with and for the Hag.  She is pretty and smart and has worked for several

companies in the "biz" as a freelance editor, director and cinematographer.  Sara also worked

with Buffalo Benford on a trailer he was preparing for a project with the Bob Dylan Camp and

the PioneerTroubadours.com project that's endorsed by the Eric Clapton Camp...not to drop

names...we just put them right here in front of you.  In 2007, Sara was named President of

Neokast Productions, a company dedicated to producing live entertainment, independent

features, and interactive digital media for global distribution.  Her role as Pres requires her to

be on the cutting edge of technology, and she will for sure be advising the festival on the

edge of the cutting edge...oh yes she is working on a 3D movie...
