After the death of actor and musician James Gailey, I began researching his filmography; coming across a title he did in 2018 for Ashley De Grandy entitled “Overtime”. He frequently collaborated with Ashley during his short but impressive acting career. He and Ashley worked on the 2020 film “Metanoia”, James’ first posthumous release, a short entitled “The Road”, and the soon-to-be released feature film “Regina”. Excerpt from James Gailey’s Backstage resume Upon further inspection I couldn’t find much on his film “Overtime” except that he and actor Gary Allen appear in the film together. Gailey portrays Joe and Gary portrays the role of Drunk Man Stumbling. They acted in it together in August 2018. It is unknown at this time if any other actors appear in the film. The film, most likely a short, judging by “Regina” being De Grandy’s first feature film, is most likely on a hard drive somewhere. Excerpt from Gary Allen’s resume
