He wanted to take on the challenge of shooting this film inside a moving car, shot mostly at night. The technical pressures of this type of project, required not only a high level of commitment form its leader, Rob, but also extreme tenacity. Since shooting 531, Goodman has directed tow projects for non-profit organizations, focusing on the issue of children with disabilities. Another area in which Rob vents his self-expression is through the arts of Painting and Graphic Design. Rob's paintings and murals have been exhibited in Erie Pennsylvania and South Florida.
