As an independent film maker he produced his first documentary, Jeffries-Johnson 1910, on Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight champion of the world, with the help of Francis Ford Coppola. It was distributed by McGraw-Hill. He then made a feature film called American Nitro on the pure Americana topic of hot rod cars and drag racing. This film was seen in every American City and most of the world. It is still in current distribution on DVD and sells rapidly.
