He met actor Kevin Spacey through a chance introduction from a mutual friend while Brunetti was working at a start up digital wireless network company.

Brunetti discussed the film's struggles with the Weinstein Company in interviews on KCRW's The Business podcast[10] and in The New York Times.

[11] Brunetti's first major success was for 21 (2008), a film based on Ben Mezrich's New York Times best selling book Bringing Down The House.

In early 2009, Brunetti teamed with Mezrich on an adaption of the book The Accidental Billionaires, which was turned into the critically acclaimed film, The Social Network.

The screenplay adaptation was written by Aaron Sorkin, directed by David Fincher and told the story of Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook.com.

Brunetti made sure to have Kevin Spacey attend the premiere and after party as well to ensure that their Facebook-related project would have all the momentum it needed.

In 2011, The Social Network was nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture, Music (Original Score), Actor in a Leading Role, Cinematography, Directing, Film Editing, Sound Mixing and Writing (Adapted Screenplay).

In 2015, Brunetti and Michael De Luca reunited to produce the Fifty Shades of Grey film adaptation for Focus Features.

Cavalry's core focus is the acquisition, development and production of premium feature films and scripted television series for global audiences.

Brunetti and Kevin Spacey's Trigger Street Productions released their series, House of Cards, on Netflix in early 2013.

Reed Hastings, Netflix CEO, commented on the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the release of House of Cards by saying, "[it's] a very nice confirmation of the premise that over the next couple of years we can build something very important."

In 2017 Brunetti served as an executive producer on the Discovery Channel Original series, Manhunt, Unabomber, starring Sam Worthington and Paul Bettany.

[26] Brunetti's additional TV producing credits include HBO's Bernard & Doris, starring Ralph Fiennes and Susan Sarandon, which received 10 Emmy nominations and CNN's factual series, Race For The White House.

[32] In 2014, Brunetti sat down with former Facebook executive Randi Zuckerberg for an interview at SXSW Film Festival about the future of media, personal branding online, and how Hollywood and Silicon Valley continue to converge.

I think it's wrong when people like Zach Braff or Spike Lee utilize that same service to fund their films when they already have access", he added.

Jameson First Shot stars have included, Uma Thurman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Willem Dafoe, Kevin Spacey, Adrien Brody and Dominic West.
