Derek Presley

Derek Presley was born in Fort Worth, Texas. His passion for storytelling started at the age of eleven when he made his first home video with his mom's hi-8mm video camera. He followed that up with a novel he started writing at 12 years old (he never finished it). He would go on to make short subject films along with commercials, music videos and finally feature films. In 2019 he formed Muscular Puppy along with Jason Starne and Alex Blackmon in which he directed three feature films -Whitetail, Red Stone and Boon. As of 2021 Derek is a member of the Directors Guild of America and is looking to continue his storytelling well into the future.
