John conceived, architected, organized and launched DG Systems, the very first digital media distribution network which now connects producers and advertising agencies to more than 11,000 radio and 3,500 TV stations and cable outlets.

John partnered with (and later married) San Francisco radio talent Robin Solis (Bobbie West) to start a boutique audio production company, Media3, to produce radio commercials, drama, and comedy creations. The fact that client advertising agencies chronically missed deadlines and were willing to pay exorbitant fees to messenger commercial dubs to distant.

Throughout the late 1980’s, John continued with documentary projects - now in video, for both broadcast and videocassette. This series included the one hour television special "Colossus of the Golden Gate" broadcast for the 50th anniversary celebration of the building of the Golden Gate Bridge.

BCR specialized in offbeat and cultish independent productions and helped Bay Area artists distribute their films to the art house and college theater circuits. BCR’s one foray into more traditional feature distribution was Nagisa Oshima’s “Empire of Passion”. In the early 1980’s, BCR music and comedy shorts found new audiences on foreign television and US.

John returned to San Francisco from London in January of 1969 and, with partner Bob Kalsey, founded Bravura Films to produce commercials and public relations films. By 1974, John was also producing independent documentaries that found distribution in non-theatrical outlets and foreign television broadcast. In 1977, John produced a groundbreaking natural.

In the summer of 1965, John was just completing his first short motion picture, "The Hunted", when he was drafted into the Army. John’s new filmmaking skills paid off, though, when the Army assigned him to produce training films at the Army Pictorial Center (now Astoria Studios) in Long Island City, NY.
