Keghead's Last Ride

Hello, my name is Brent Kirkland, and my short film, Keghead's Last Ride, is about community and identity.

For 40 years, the “Keghead” has delivered beer to Reno, Nevada’s oldest bars and restaurants. That ride comes to an end when he is taken off his route and moved to sales. A man who thrives on hard work and relationships he’s built along his route, trades in steel-toed boots for slacks and a tablet, as his company shifts to an Amazon sales model: order online, delivery at your door, no human contact. Told through the eyes of a son and his blue-collared dad, Keghead’s Last Ride explores identity and community, capturing a man and a city in transition.

My goal is to get Keghead's Last Ride to millions of people through film festivals and eventually get the film to a platform to view.

To do so, I'm working to raise $3,000 to pay for music licensing, sound sweetening, color correction, film festival submission and travel fees.

As the world modernizes, I hope this film reminds people about the importance of building a community, providing good service, and the value of a cold beer with good people in nostalgic places.
