Broken Ear Production is an independent film and television production company co-owned by Keith Jardine, legendary UFC light-heavy weight mixed martial artist and Darren White, former sheriff and entrepreneur. Built on a shared passion for bold storytelling and uncompromising vision, the company focuses on character-driven narratives that live at the intersection of grit, heart, and raw human experience.
Broken Ear Production is known for developing and producing distinctive projects such as El Paso 11:55, a tense, atmospheric crime drama rooted in the moral complexities of the American borderlands, and Kill Me Again, a dark, emotionally charged thriller that explores desperation, identity, and the cost of survival. These projects reflect the company’s commitment to stories that feel authentic, dangerous, and deeply personal films that don’t flinch from hard truths.

Drawing from Jardine’s unique crossover career in combat sports and acting, and White’s background in management and business, Broken Ear Production brings a rare blend of physical realism, psychological depth, and cinematic ambition. The company prioritizes original voices, unconventional protagonists, and narratives that challenge audiences rather than comfort them.
With a growing slate of projects in development, Broken Ear Production continues to carve out space in the independent landscape for stories that are fearless, visceral, and unforgettable stories that leave a mark long after the final frame.
