      Hey Bryan. I have only seen 2 of his movies. I would suggest seeing The Killing Fields at least once. Your old man did some market research on The Iron Triangle. A movie company (Scotti Brothers) contacted ODU and they picked me as one of the ones that got to help. Maybe this is a new story about your father. Good stuff.
