A native New Yorker, Graham, following his discharge from the Army Air Force, got his first acting job in a summer stock production of "The Male Animal." His first job on Broadway came when he was hired to be both an office boy and an understudy for a play produced by the renowned David Merrick, "Bright Boy, " Merrick"s first production (in association with Arthur J. Beckhard) and only failure. Following this fiasco, Graham became assistant stage manager for the premiere Broadway engagement of modern dance legend Martha Graham (no relation, ) and impressed her to such an extent that she asked him to join her company as manager of her studio where he remained for six months. An assignment with a concert management and public relations firm also brought him his first association with a talent agency as New York representative for the Sue Carol Agency of Beverly Hills. A two year stint as editor of the weekly Theatrical Calendar, published by Celebrity Service followed, leading in turn to a position as Studio Supervisor for NBC Television. He also edited a publication of Ross Reports on Television for two years. During that time Graham also produced a Carlo Goldoni play, "La Locandiera" ("The Mistress of the Inn") for Equity Library Theatre and three one-act plays by Paul Green under the collective title "Supper for the Dead" at the Theatre De Lys in Greenwich Village. After serving as casting director for two Broadway musicals, "The Liar, " and "Seventh Heaven, " the latter starring Gloria De Haven, Ricardo Montalban, Beatrice Arthur, Robert Clary, and Chita Rivera, Graham became an agent with Lyons & Lyons, Inc., where he worked with Jayne Mansfield during her Broadway engagement in "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" Following a move to California where he joined the Sacramento Music Circus as general manager for the 1957 summer season, our hero headed south and joined the Willliam Shiffrin Agency where he once again represented Miss Mansfield, as well as such other stalwarts as Clint Eastwood, Robert Stack, Dennis Hopper, Elsa Lanchester and George Sanders among others. Graham was soon recruited by the Ashley-Steiner Agency (forerunner of ICM, ) where he remained six years both in Los Angeles and New York representing actors, writers and directors. When the agency failed to transfer him back to California he resigned, returning to the southland where a three month assignment as Director of Casting for Twentieth Century Fox Television on the staff of its president, William Self stretched to almost two years. At Fox his area of responsiblity included casting such TV pilots as "Batman, " "The Monroes, " "Felony Squad, " "The Green Hornet, " "Custer" and "Judd for the Defense." While there, Graham spotted a young Tom Selleck who the studio signed to their contract program at his urging. As his Fox assignment came to a close Peter Witt, a top New York agent, was in need of someone to head his Beverly Hills office. Graham was his man, and for seven years represented such major talent as Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn, Anne Jackson and Eli Wallach, Joan Van Ark, Rene Auberjonois, Glynis Johns, Maggie Smith, Rutger Hauer, Michael Learned, Marsha Mason, James Whitmore and Clarence Williams III. When Peter Witt produced the hit musical "Billy" in London and decided to close the office, Graham opted in lieu of opening his own agency, to go into free lance casting. Among feature films he has cast are "The Turning Point, " "The Magic of Lassie, " "First Monday in October" and "Purple Rain." Movies for television include "Eleanor and Franklin, The White House Years, " "Haywire, " "The Gathering, " "Mazes and Monsters, " Edward and Mrs. Simpson" for Thames Television, " Remembrance of Love, " and "Little Girl Lost " on which he was also a co-producer on what was to become the highest rated Movie of the Week of the 1986-87 ABC-TV television season.

In 36 years she directed 72 productions including sermon films, promotional films, multi-image presentations, and feature-length films. In 1950, Katherine Stenholm was directing a stage play of "Cyrano" when she was approached by Dr. Bob Jones Sr., founder of Bob Jones University, Greenville, SC, to take on the task of starting a Cinema Department for the school. She was surprised as his request since she had no experience in film, but continued on to gain an in-depth education in filmmaking, both in graduate study at USC and through contacts made within the industry. Peter Mole, founder of Mole-Richardson Co., provided all the lighting needs for the new studio built on the campus, called "Unusual Films." After directing a number of short ministry films for evangelist Dr. Bob Jones Sr., Katherine Stenholm swung into the feature length production of "Wine of Morning." This film is based upon a novel written by Dr. Bob Jr., a reinvention of the story of Barabbas, the murderer chosen to be released in place of Jesus, right before the crucifixion. In 1955, "Wine of Morning" won the National Evangelical Film Foundation awards for best film, best director, best actor, and best producer of the year. This was also selected by the University Film Producers Association (now University Film and Video Association) to represent the United States at the International Film Festival in Cannes, France for a meeting of the International Congress of Motion Picture and Television Schools in 1958. Katherine Stenholm was one of the keynote speakers at the Cannes Festival and later gave a keynote address at the International Congress of Motion Picture and Television Schools held in Paris soon after. In addition to her teaching responsibilities, she continued to run the Unusual Films' studios until 1986. Film students gained a distinct advantage under her guidance as she held high standards of filmmaking. All students were required to read "American Cinematographer" cover to cover every month, and countless other texts. All students were required to write / direct / edit a 16mm short film their sophomore year (added in late 1970s). All students were required to put in a set amount of hours working at the film studio, in various positions, to complement their classroom time. Those who passed these rigors, while maintaining passing grades in all their other university courses, were then eligible to assist in the production of the feature films Katherine Stenholm directed. In addition, she required that EACH senior level student write / produce / direct / edit a 16mm film for their senior thesis, in order to graduate-all the while continuing to assist in the studio's productions. In 1986, while filming in Russia for her then-upcoming film, "The Printing," she suffered a minor stroke in Moscow. It was difficult to get through the red tape to get her a flight from Moscow to Helsinki because she and her team were with a tour group that was set to fly out from Leningrad to Helsinki. Once the task was accomplished and she returned home to the States, Tim Rogers was named as the director of Unusual Films and he directed "The Printing" in her place. During her illness, many students rallied to aid her in household chores and anything else needed. Though she retired from directing when her health recovered, she returned to teach the directing class until the 1999/2000 school year.- Sound Department

Mici Giovanna Kudoh Falvo, was born to - Arnold Falvo and Mitsuko Kudoh, of Tokyo, Japan. From the very beginning, Mici was a person of inquiry, passion, dedication, devotion, and creativity. As early as 4 years of age, Mici was drawing pictures of people, wildlife and nature; with the greatest of details. Her parents raised her to fluently speak Japanese and English. This made her highly skilled in being bi-lingual. She complemented her high school studies at Seigakuin Girls High school in Tokyo, Japan with a year of study abroad at the Notre Dame Academy in Towson, Maryland. She decided to take her talents to the United States, where she relocated to St. Petersburg, Florida.
She enrolled in Eckerd College, where she graduated in 2006 with a Baccalaureate degree in Visual Arts, and a Minor in Computer Science. Upon completion of her college programs, she dedicated herself to serving the greater good of our world. Her passionate pursuit for producing messages of substance is seen everywhere. She became an Independent film-maker and media producer. Her level of talent, creativity, passion and dedication were the ingredients for a perfect recipe of flawless success in all her works. For the last decade, she built a strong international network of creative pursuits in industries such as film & television, media, animation, music and education. She aligned herself with international volunteer organizations, in order to focus on health, nutritional and environmental initiatives. She relentlessly focused on bridging the gap between creativity and practicality, for humanitarian causes. Quite simply, she refused to sacrifice her ideals by "selling out" to For-Profit corporations; which is why she pursued humanitarian causes. Mici realized that experiencing the wonders of our world meant immersing herself in different places. Her passion and inquiry for other cultures made her a truly international traveler.
Mici not only lived in Japan and the United States, but she also traveled to other places, such as: England, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia. Any and all of the people who are privileged to have known Mici will attest to the clear fact that she was the embodiment of out-goingness, overwhelming love for others, and the beauty of the human soul. She never put herself before others, and this made her the richest woman on earth. Mici made the most of her life, living every day to its fullest. Because she was gentle, caring, mindful of the present, and determined to leave her mark, she left this earth in a far better place. An old Dakota proverb says "We will forever be judged by the tracks we leave..."
Mici can proudly say that we will forever see her tracks wherever and whenever we see a film or public service announcement that comes to the rescue of victimized people. We will see her tracks when we talk to others in need of help, and we are there to give support and guidance. We will forever see her tracks when people rescue abandoned cats, whose only desire is to love and be loved. We will forever see her tracks when we see the charm, innocence, passion, dedication and creativity of others, regardless of their age or background.- Second Unit Director or Assistant Director
