Who Is James Payton?
Well, indeed this was the subject of the Oliver Guy-Watkins’ award winning documentary Who Is James Payton? released in 2020. In which, if you look carefully, you can spot your humble Finding Ford Creator and Producer Patrick James O’Hare, and Director Steve Pilling! We highly recommend you check it out! See below!
The Harrison Ford Connection
James is an actor, and film industry professional. So despite having never worked with Harrison Ford (yet), he is well placed to discuss his skills in this regard. That he did, providing some great insights and observations. I’d love to share them with you here, but as always you’ll have to wait to see Finding Ford!
Old Friends
JP was in town for some filming with our friends over at MoviEscape, (have you been yet?) so our thanks to them for having us over. We even found time to have a little drink and catch up after wrapping… Look out for James next in the upcoming DogMan from legendary director Luc Besson!
But until next time,
May The Ford Be With You!
