How Hollywood Works Now: The Producer Who Decamped to a Survivalist Sanctuary

-esque lifestyle as he was for making award-winning movies and TV shows — is sporting a Grizzly Adams beard and sitting out the COVID-19 crisis in a used Airstream on an isolated ranch east of Sacramento.

Even before he purchased the ranch, Brunetti had been restructuring his business and personal life to make it more nimble. He sold his Toluca Lake house and turned his newly launched Cavalry Media — the management and production company he runs with former Relativity Media finance exec Keegan Rosenberger — into a virtual operation.

Brunetti and Pakzad stayed in Reese’s guest house for two months even after Brunetti had found and purchased his new homestead. “I would come out here [to the ranch] in the morning, work the land, clearing it, getting shit together, working with the project manager and then take business calls, return emails to keep the trains running, and then driving back at dark every day,” he goes on. “But I was feeling bad because I didn’t want to be a mooch and stay at their house constantly.

Since the lockdown, Brunetti, Pakzad and sometimes Brunetti’s 7-year-old daughter, Estella , have been holed up in a space "the size of our bedroom in L.A.," as Pakzad describes the Airstream, keeping much farther than 6 feet from their neighbors, who’ve turned out to be a lot friendlier than folks downstate.

it's super easy to buy into the rugged lifestyle when you have the financial resources. grow a beard (check), photo in a giant CAT tractor (check), living on a rural (yet near the city) ranch (check), keep the l.a. house (check), photo in front of a shiny airstream (check). haha

Do you exclusively write for millionaires at this point?
