BIO ~ Jimmy Davis III 

Actor, Composer, Musician, Writer, Director  

Jimmy Davis, born and raised in Tucson Az went to high school at Ameri schools’ college prep Academy. After Graduating HS I attended Pima community college for a semester before Ultimately joining the Marine Corps reserve from Oct 2011 to April of 2020. Currently, I am working as an Admin assistant at a local higk-12 school.  

I began acting in 2021, however have had experience with church plays and improv classes. My first acting and composing debut on the set of In Terror (written by Ben Freese) I played Cop number one, and with help composed the entire film. I began taking acting classes with Philip Bennet while participating in short films with Roy Robles which include Collected, and the soon coming Red Room Requiem. I did a couple of commercials which my friend Austin Buchannan gave me information about that was through Sneaky Owl media.  

I was a bank manager in Lords of Cornhole by Peter Leon. These experiences encouraged me to write my own short called, “third man” which I acted and directed along with Matt Miller and Daniel Gonzalez. Finally, I played a character known as Deets in Ascendancy by Ben Freese.  

Musically, I have been making music since I was 15 years old. I’m a self-taught guitarist and composer. My knowledge comes from countless hours watching YouTube and studying books.

About Zach Rhein:

Zachary or Zach for most people is originally from Spokane, Washington and developed a love of the arts at an early age. One of my earliest experiences making movies was helping on a music video a friend.  

I then moved down to Tucson, AZ where I continued my love of the arts and joined the theater department. While I didn’t pursue acting I rediscovered my love of filmmaking and am ready to become the local mogul. 

While I may not have decades of experience handling a full fledge business, I make up for it in my drive and determination and am willing to learn from the school of hard knocks. 

My current business is In Flight Productions, a local film production company ready to make high quality movies of all genres that give people a chance to see themselves in the movie.
