I just wanted to mention the passing of one of Canada's best documentary filmmaker. Allan King died Monday at 79, the reason I am writing about Allan is because Allan has made some great films and he made a film called "Memory for Max, Claire, Ida and Company" about aging and Alzheimer's. The film was made at Baycrest in Toronto. I was lucky enough to also film at Baycrest while making my film. My videos of Baycrest will be posted on this site very soon.

TVO had played all of King's films in the past year and will probably do another retrospective on him soon. I encouraged you to check out his films at www.allankingfilms.com.

About 3 weeks ago I sent Allan my film "Forgetful Not Forgotten", I'm not sure if he had a chance to see it or not, but I wanted to thank him for inspiring me to make my film and many more!

Allan you will be missed!

Chris
