He later founded the Producers Sales Organization to promote American independent films to a global audience.

Damon played a pivotal role in establishing the American Film Market and the Independent Film & Television Alliance.

His executive production credits include internationally acclaimed films such as 'Das Boot' and 'The NeverEnding Story'.

He documented his life and career in the film industry in a book co-authored in 2008.
