Rest in Paradise: Charlie Murphy

4/12/2017

0 Comments

 
Am sad hearing about comic  | actor Charlie Murphy's death. A few years ago in NYC, I cast and produced him for a few BET pop culture countdown shows. He had a ton of sass and was full of heart; a delight and very fun, easy to work with. He gave his brand of irreverent commentary for our BET series. Bumped into him a few times in LA after I moved here and he always remembered me.

Like the passing of Robin Williams (who I also had the pleasure of working with), it's sad to see a "funny" man die because they're the ones that observe and witness life in envelope-pushing ways. Comedy to me is the most elevated pursuit of beauty and art. Charlie
 will be missed...wishing his family, friends and "comic family" much love.

12 years after I met film director Robert Zemeckis...

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR- was hired today to interview one of my creative heroes- Film Director Robert Zemeckis (Forest Gump, Back to the Future, Cast Away, Allied, The Walk, Polar Express, Who Killed Roger Rabbit)!!

In 2005 (12 years ago!), I timidly gave him the 3 short films I wrote | directed | produced | edited, collectively on a DVD. Months later when I completely forgot he promised to watch them- he sent me a letter in the mail, encouraging and thanking ME for letting him watch them. When I was a shy newbie filmmaker, he was unbelievably kind and wonderful.

​So next week when I see him, I'm going to bring him the letter he mailed me...and will try not to goober all over him. Needless to say, I'm so thrilled!!
