Tom at the movies

Tom knew how to watch a movie. He had all his receptors going full time and could vividly recall films he enjoyed in great detail. Setting the scenes and characters and frequently acting at the best parts. I believe his favorite movie was the Coen brothers ,"Miller's Crossing", a movie I too thought highly of. Tom particularly identified with role played by Gabriel Byrne as the son of a Boston mob boss.

Sometime within the past two years, Tom had run into a filmmaker here in SF who was taken with Tom and had him, in effect, play himself in a film. Does anyone know who that was and if the film was ever finished?
