Fort Myers native Billy Corben broke into directing at 23 with the Sundance-premiering Raw Deal: A Question of Consent, launching a career rooted in South Florida's gritty undercurrents. Teaming with Alfred Spellman at Miami-based Rakontur, he delivered Cocaine Cowboys—Showtime's top-rated doc—and ESPN's record-breaking The U on University of Miami football. Standouts like Square Grouper, God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty, and Netflix's Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami highlight his knack for blending crime chronicles with cultural impact. Rakontur remains a Miami fixture, with Corben tackling upcoming releases including the 2024 The Last of the Cocaine Cowboys on Medellín cartel leader Carlos Lehder and A Sunny Place for Shady People on local controversies. A vocal critic on social media and podcasts, he champions the region's raw stories from his hometown base.
