Jon Doscher, producer and director of the documentary “4Chosen,” says “it’s not a Disney film.” Hardly.

He doesn’t believe in luck; timing is everything On the wall beside Jon Doscher’s desk hangs a photo of a fleet of white trucks. It is Doscher’s proxy for a college diploma. Without those trucks, he would not have a black director’s chair, and Upper Saddle River office on Route 17, or a poster of […]

How does a guy jump from making home improvements to making movies? Ask Jon Doscher, graduate of Pascack Hills High School’s Class of 1989. After befriending one of his clients, actor Danny Aiello, the Woodcliff Lake native abandoned his self-made business and began auditioning for film roles.
