Morgan Freeman. He has won numerous awards for his photography, and
designed the album cover for Stevie Wonder's Grammy-winning album,
"Hotter Than July." Schani also worked as a sound and creative
consultant for this hit album, as well. During his career in Hollywood,
he was nominated for 3 Emmys ("Outstanding Technical Achievement For
Camera Work"), and worked on countless episodic TV shows, including:
"Sanford and Son," "Chico and the Man," "The Rockford Files," and
"Baretta." He was a regular cameraman on "Days Of Our Lives," and

worked on "The Tonight Show," and "The Midnight Special." He's an avid
collector of antique muscle cars, and loves to restore them in his
spare time. Schani produced, directed, and wrote, "Marilyn's Man," an
award winning and successful Indie film about the life of Jim
Dougherty, Marilyn Monroe's first husband. It reveals her unknown story
of how she took Hollywood by storm as the most renown Icon that ever
graced the silver screen. He is now producing and directing a new
reality TV show about Harvey Webber, an hilarious and successful
antiques dealer and auctioneer, and preparing to shoot a big budget
sci-fi thriller in New Zealand. A period romantic comedy is in the
works, which will be set in the late 1960's, to be filmed in upstate
New York, and in NYC. Schani enjoys his Philanthropic work, and has
mentored formerly violent, street-worn gang members from East L.A., and
steering them into jobs in the TV and film business, by taking them on
sets, and introducing them to movie stars, as well as teaching them
technical and production skills.
