Rough week last week...

[hedonis]

Hey everyone

Some of you know, some of you don't, but in my spare time, I'm trying to take over the world by making independent movies. To that end, I work with a lot of folks who are just amazing people.

One of those amazing people was the husband of my wife's best friend. I had met him through her, and he ran a web design company, so I hooked up with him to design the website for my entertainment biz. He was doing a lot of really cool stuff with it, to make it completely and easily accessible for me and the others of the company to edit, which gave us incredible flexibility in management of our site. It hasn't launched yet, so I can't point you to it until we have a ton of content there.

But last week, on Saturday the 23rd, he passed away very suddenly, which was a total shock and disappointment. He was a big hockey nut, and was playing hockey when he came off the ice short of breath. A few minutes later he gasped a couple times, and then collapsed and left us forever. As my wife and I are great friends with he and his wife, this was a completely devastating moment. He was only 30, and had no history of heart trouble.

That was the saddest funeral I've ever had to be a part of.

I can only try to honor him appropriately with the web site he designed for my company. So long and farewell, my friend.

That's pretty rough, feel sorry for his family.


On a lighter note:

I had no idea, but I'm interested in finding out more, I love independent movies.

Sorry to hear that, it is always tough to lose someone, especially that young.
Good luck.

I didn't know you were into making indie movies, that's cool.

Sorry about your friend though, it's horrible when people die too soon

 

[Hot Mega]

Sorry to hear that. We can expect you'll be honor him in the opening/closing credits of your first film?

Sorry to hear that H.

 

[D-rock]

That's pretty awful to hear about.

Sorry for your loss, a good way to honor the guy would be to dedicate the movie to him.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Had a dinner last night, and his wife was over. She seemed in pretty good spirits, but even she admitted that she's just pretty numb to it right now. We've told her to stop by any time she wants if she gets to feeling poorly about things.

I haven't really mentioned the movies thing because at first, I was thinking "well, this is a porn site, and I don't want people to know I go to a *naughty* site!", but since I really don't do the porn here anymore, but rather just come to the boards, I probably just haven't mentioned it because I didn't want it to be considered spam, like I'm selling something

We're working on content for the site to jazz it all up. If anyone's interested, shoot me a PM and I'll include you when we launch the site. As far as the movies go, we've done a fan fiction movie, and had a good attempt/bad execution on a zombie flick , and have since been working on something else.

There's a comedy we're going to work on at some point which will have new stuff that will string together clips and bits of our oldest material, from 1986 to 2000. It will be (for the most part) a family and friends-only, local viewing, but some clips will no doubt make it onto youtube or the like. The most notable thing about it is that when we do the trailer/invitation for it, that was voiced over by Don La Fontaine (The "In a world..." guy), who was kind enough to do that for us after we made a donation to a charity in his name. It's very cool and quite an honor to hear that guy's voice saying something you wrote.

Sorry to hear that. We can expect you'll be honor him in the opening/closing credits of your first film?

He'll be there, and on the website for a long time.


Thanks again, everyone, for replying and saying such nice stuff. :bowdown:

I am very sorry. How absolutely terrible. You must go on in his spirit. Be well.

That's just wrong

My condolences to you and your wife and of course to his wife and family.
