R.I.P. Sarah Jones (1986-2014)

A letter from the father of Sarah Jones on the 6th Anniversary of her passing!

It has been six years since the passing of Sarah Jones (Sept. 22, 1986 - Feb. 20, 2014). Her untimely death was the result of a Producer/Director and Production team's negligence in allowing a "Shot" to take precedence over human life and safety!

Are you as fascinated by "Old Hollywood" as we are?

Here's a look at the Hollywood Studio System in it's heyday!

Check out this clip, from 1935, of “A Trip through a Hollywood Studio." I love that we get to work in a process that, in regards to its technology, has come such a long way.

Charlton Heston, James Stewart, Betty Hutton, Lane Chandler | "The Greatest Show on Earth" (1952)

Roy Wagner, ASC | Favorite Forgotten Films

Although I saw many films before this, I recall the power that The Greatest Show on Earth held over me as a child. The sense of showmanship and the scope drawn into that one-dimensional screen captured my imagination. I recall that, at the time, it suggested the power of which the cinema was capable.

Jean Coulter Stunt

Confessions of a retired Stunt Woman I

This (above), was one of those stunts where everything went wrong! It was a picture called "Honky Talk Freeway" directed by John Schlesinger. And the stunt team read like a "Who's Who" of Hollywood Stunt people!

The first time, I flew out of the car, it slid over the hill with me. I rolled down the hill while the car was right next to me. As the tire was sliding within inches of my face, I wondered if it could flip while sliding so fast and I would end up underneath it.
