Oscar Winning Director Robert Wise Dies

Robert Wise was one of the finest filmmakers we've ever seen. A consumate storyteller and an even finer person. I attended one of his lecturers while I was at AFI and it was just a pleasure to listen to him speak. Fifty plus years in the business and the respect and admiration of his peers and every young filmmaker that followed.

Many of you younger filmmakers may have never heard of him. Well now you have. Go to IMDB and look him. Add as many of his films, including the ones he edited, to your queue on NetFlix.

This guy was good!

Thank you, Mr. Wise.
