Taxi: The Tribute

It wasn't long time ago that our friends Vlad Panov and Jennavive Jackson came to our headquarters at Taxidepot to tell us about their film project Taxi: The Tribute.  

It was a nice surprise they just didn't want to interview me about my checkercab times but to include me on the film, that was priceless.

This short film pays tribute not only to one of the greatest sitcoms of the late 70s/early 80s, but also to the historic Checker cabs which became a symbol of New York ever since it's first appearance. 

Starring Will Cooper, Jennavive Jackson, Bill Goffi and Vlad Panov.

Cinematography by Joseph Rios

Executive producer Jennavive Jackson

Music by Bob James

Directed and edited by Vlad Panov.
