For the past three years, Germain has ardently collected footage, pictures, music, artifacts and clips pertaining to Mister Rogers Neighborhood to tell the story of its greatest living champion, David Newell. Speedy Delivery is Germains first documentary feature. He recently earned both his masters in Arts Management and masters in Entertainment Industry Management, both through Carnegie Mellon Universitys Heinz School, Institute for the Management of Creative Enterprises.

Collaborating with intense artists and friends from Carnegie Mellon like Bryan and Fritz made this documentary sing with emotion and improved it dramatically. The score and sounds are pure magic, expressed Germain. He solicited creative support from fellow Carnegie Mellon artists composer Bryan Senti, Master of Arts Management alumni wrote and sound designer and mixer Friedrich Myers, College of Fine Arts alumni.
