Scott Smith Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 The music world has lost a true artist with the passing of Bob. It was great to see his career get re-ignited after people found out who he was when "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" was released. Always a consummate professional, and nice guy to boot. He will be missed. --S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Wexler Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I met Frank Pierson when he was President of the Academy and my father was working on "Who Needs Sleep?" He had some really important and insightful things to say about our industry, working conditions and long hours, how the movie business has become all about business (money). A truly fine individual... he will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Smith Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Cat Ballou, Cool Hand Luke, Dog Day Afternoon. Classic movies all. Most writers would have been happy to have just one of these films on their resume. Too bad we don't have more like him. --S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lightstone, CAS Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Frank Pierson was a wonderful writer who worked tirelessly at his craft. I had the privilege of siting down with him at his favorite deli in Santa Monica, pitching a story to him that he was really interested in writing! Just his interest in an idea of mine had me over the moon. As it played out he took on another better paying assignment and that was that. Frank called me a week after our meeting and told me he had a lucrative offer to write a television project and he would have to pass. He was the consummate professional who respected everyone he came in contact with. He will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 RIP Chris Marker, maker of "La Jetee", "Sans Soleil", "Immemory", "A Grin Without A Cat", "The Last Bolshevik" and "AK" among many others and probably the most influential filmmaker to other filmmakers of the modern era. The general public didn't know much about Chris Marker (and he didn't make himself easy to know) but ALL filmmakers with any level of film education know about him, especially via those films. Emiko Omori (SF area filmmaker who worked on a few Marker films as a camera operator) is just finishing a feature doc tribute to him (that I'm mixing right now) that will premiere (I think) at the Mill Valley Film Festival this fall. It's called "CHRIS MARKER: AN UNSENT LETTER". phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Mills Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Philip Nutman, a gifted horror writer and occasional film producer/actor, and film journalist for many years passed away last night. http://www.fangoria.com/new/remembering-philip-nutman-1963-2013/ Many of us in the audio community knew him, and will miss him. While he had gone through some tough times the last few years, I will always remember him as a punster and a quick witted guy with incredible knowledge of the history of film, especially horror and fantasy films. He was a very talented interviewer as well as fiction author. He was a past participant in the BBC's training program before he move to America in the late 1980s He wrote several screenplays, including one for the film "Jack Ketchum's Girl Next Door" (2007) which was very well done. I was introduced to him about 20 years ago, by a high school and college friend of mine, author Anya Martin, and immediately found myslef working with him on low budget horror movies, swapping stories, and building a friendship. In recent years, he had fallen into substance problems, but I always kept hoping he'd figure it out and get back onto his creative track. Sadly, he has run out of time to do that.

old school Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Hal Needham, longtime stuntman and director of “Smokey and the Bandit” for Burt Reynolds, has died in Los Angeles after a short battle with cancer. He was 82. I never worked with Mr Needham but the stories were legendary. RIP. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
