Davi’s Way, A Tom Donahue Film
Working with Director Tom Donahue and Producer Ilan Arboleda on Davi’s Way, a documentary about actor Robert Davi, who often played villains. The film shows Davi wanting to establish a career as a vocalist singing Sinatra tunes. He has an excellent voice!

Need For Speed, directed by Scott Waugh
Mr Waugh is also a former stunt performer and insisted that the racing scenes in this film be completely authentic. I was a Production Assistant and spent a lot of time with the stunt drivers in the evenings at Patterson’s and Dick in Mendocino, Ca.
