Acquaintances such as Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, Basil Rathbone, Vincent Price, Alfred Hitchcock, John Landis, Rick Baker, John Carpenter, Joe Dante, Peter Jackson, and Rob Zombie have inspired him to keep the memory and recognition of their work alive. Rich has chosen to honor their accomplishments by sharing it with the public through his exhibition, Icons of Darkness.

The collection offers memorabilia from movies spanning almost 100 years of Hollywood history including Frankenstein, The Exorcist, Star Wars, Iron Man, Jurassic Park, Spiderman, Joker, and Harry Potter.

  White's BECKMAN premiere event followed  Los Angeles County    COVID-19 safety guidelines.

He praised the power of cinema amid the ongoing struggles posed by COVID-19, and expressed his excitement over the September 22nd world premiere event.
 
 “We are blessed for those of us in front of and behind the camera to get  to continue our craft of making movies that give us an escape to some 

of the things the world is going through,” he said. “The 90 minutes film will make us forget what we are going through since March this year. We’re reminded about the original excitement of going to the cinema. I’m grateful to be part of this, and that we can still celebrate all of the hard work that goes into making a movie”

The event was sponsored by Emerald Hare Winery, Bandero Tequila and Sprinkles cupcakes.

About BECKMAN film
 
AARON BECKMAN (David A.R. White) is finished – done with a life lived in the shadows as a cruel gun for hire.
Now, his soul cries out for healing, peace, forgiveness, and grace. In desperation, he appeals to the church and is welcomed by an ailing pastor (Jeff Fahey) like a long-lost son. However, his journey towards salvation is cut short when his adopted daughter is kidnapped by a deranged cult leader named Reese (William Baldwin). Blinded by rage, Beckman sets off on a dangerous rescue mission and is forced to revert back to his old violent ways. The only thing that may be able to stop Beckman’s rampage is his faith – but will he remember it in time to save his soul?
