MOTOXTREME

CREATIVE TEAM

RICHARD RUSH, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
As Executive Producer, Richard Rush brings a staggering wealth of experience to MotoXtreme. Described by critics as a cinematic "virtuoso" and "alchemist," Richard has worked with and inspired many of the greatest artists in the film industry over the course of his forty-five year career.
In the 1960s Richard established himself as a hard-working, innovative director by helming eight films in as many years and helping to launch the careers of Jack Nicholson, Francis Ford Coppola and many other major filmmakers. He mastered the process of shooting on a short schedule and limited budget, consistently turning in films that generated hefty grosses and loyal audiences and inspired imitation from independents and studios alike.
Rush's career revved into overdrive with Getting Straight (1970) and the famously popular Freebie and the Bean (1974), the film which established the buddy-cop genre. But Rush's greatest success came with The Stunt Man (1980), for which he earned Academy Award nominations for writing and directing, as well as universal critical acclaim and the fanatical following of a new generation of moviegoers.
The Stunt Man's acclaimed star, Peter O'Toole, remarked that he had "learned more from Mr. Rush than I've learned from anyone else since David Lean - he does what poets do." While visiting the United States in 1981, the legendary French director Francois Truffaut was asked, "Who is your favorite American director?" He answered, "I don't know his name, but I saw his film last night - it was called The Stunt Man."
Following the release of his last directorial effort -- the Bruce Willis erotic thriller Color of Night -- Rush turned his attention to developing several projects as director and producer. In addition to MotoXtreme, Rush has written and is packaging The Fat Lady - a dark and comic look at our government's secret war on drugs - and Thunder Cave - a family drama set in Africa.

TONY RUSH, WRITER/DIRECTOR
Tony was literally born into filmmaking, as the son of prominent filmmaker and two-time Academy Award-nominated director Richard Rush and writer Doris Rush Taylor. Tony majored in Acting and Directing in college, and during his twenties he studied acting with professional coaches and worked as an actor and part-time stuntman in episodic television and supporting roles in features.
He then worked briefly for a commercial production company before starting his own video-assist company where he worked on hundreds of commercials as well as feature films. While working on big-budget studio projects like Twister (Warner Bros), Waterworld (Universal), Clear And Present Danger (Paramount), The Jungle Book (Disney), and Color of Night (Cinergi) among others, he had the unique opportunity to interact with top directors on a moment-to-moment basis and thus study a variety of directing styles.

Among many commercial credits, Tony directed Angie Everhart and Marc Singer in the Bud Light commercial “Chick Flick” for E-Motion Films. He has also helmed the second unit on several films, including Street Corner Justice (Cinetel), starring Marc Singer and Steve Railsback.

In addition to his success behind the camera, Village Roadshow produced Tony’s screenplay Love Lies Bleeding – a historical thriller about Jack the Ripper, starring Faye Dunaway and Malcolm McDowell. Along with being the sole writer on the project, Tony was a Co-Producer and Second Unit Director.

GRANT CRAMER, PRODUCER

In addition to working as an actor and acting coach for the last twenty years, Cramer is an accomplished screenwriter, director and producer. His thirty-minute film, Say Goodnight, Michael, which he wrote, produced and directed, won numerous awards, including the Gold Award at WorldFest Houston and the Grand Jury Award at the New York International Film and Video Festival. Cramer also associate-produced Beverly Hills Brats, starring Martin Sheen and Whoopi Goldberg, and executive-produced the all-star music video "Wake Up, America." He has also written a screenplay on the life of billionaire Howard Hughes which is in development as a miniseries.
