Brad Lane, Producer
The original idea to create Stripes of the Tiger came to producer Brad Lane all the way back in the fall of 2012. “I was watching a lot of football documentaries like ESPN 30/30 and the NFL Network’s Football Life and realized that we had quite a tale to tell of our own about Pacific’s football legacy,” recalls Lane.
Lane played defensive back at Pacific earning three letters from 1981 to 1983. During his time at UOP, six assistant coaches (including Pete Carroll), went on to the NFL. This was the catalyst of inspiration to produce the film.
Lane worked as an independent producer for WHDT World Television Service in West Palm Beach, Florida, producing a variety of programming including world news, travel, yacht restoration, vintage automobiles, and firearm safety. A seasoned marketing executive with over 35 years of experience, Lane has spent over a dozen years in television/video production.
Lane holds a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, with a concentration in Public Relations and a minor in Marketing, from California State University, Long Beach. He is presently the Chief Publishing Officer at First Team Media, whose focus is covering high school athletics.
Lane created the Stripes of the Tiger Foundation, LLC in 2016 and collaborated with the prestigious San Francisco Film Society in an attempt to raise the necessary capital to produce the film. These efforts led to additional production, yet fell short of the required financial resources necessary to complete the film. Despite this, the project has slowly forged ahead to where we are today: 27 interviews completed and counting… A 20-minute film encompassing the history of football at Pacific will be shown as part of the Pacific Football Legacy project that will memorialize the positive impact that UOP Football has had on the University, the community, nationally, and directly on the thousands of student-athletes and students in support positions for the football team.

Marvin Washington – Associate Producer
Marvin Washington joins the Stripes of the Tiger team as Associate Producer. Marvin is best known for being an imposing Defensive Lineman that struck fear into NFL quarterbacks for 11 seasons. Drafted by the New York Jets in 1989, Washington was coached by former Tiger’s including Bruce Coslet, Pete Carroll, Greg Robinson and Walt Harris. Added to the mix were Tiger coaching alumni Ed Donatell and Brad Seely.
“I had these guys coaching me with the Jet’s, they would talk story at practice all the time about Pacific and you could really see how much they loved the place and you could feel how special of a place it was, or must have been, most certainly that is how they all felt about it,” said Washington. “Greg Robinson taught me that first year in the NFL all I knew about D-line play, he was a great coach,” Washington went on to say.
Marvin played 9 seasons for the Jets and is a Super Bowl XXXIII champion with the Broncos, he played out his career in 1999 with the 49’ers. Washington is a graduate from the University of Idaho, he is a private businessman, entrepreneur and an advocate for CTE/Concussion treatment and prevention.

Various camera equipment is rented for use during the production.
