In memoriam of a fallen colleague

hello friends, many of you may have heard of the senseless death of a young (27 years!) camera assistant working on the film "midnight rider" in savannah, ga.. this tragedy appears to have been caused by someone trying to save a buck. we are outraged by the lack of professionalism by the production company and heartbroken to have lost such a promising young talent. we are asking that everyone mark their slated in memory of sarah jones today, the day of her memorial. this is the Facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/slatesforsarah. the support from our brother's & sister's from around the world has been a bright light in this otherwise dark period of time. thank you & please share.

Remember no matter how big or small the project, safety should be the priority.
