[Frameworks] RIP Gene Youngblood

[Festival]

Hi all. I was with Gene just a short time before he passed. He was comfortable but not responsive. I spent the afternoon with his wife, Jane. Let’s all reach out to her as she needs our support. She can provide more medical details but the year was was tough for Gene in terms of his health... the heart attack was followed by a stroke and a rather quick and steady decline. FYI, this was not COVID related. Again, much love and support to Jane.

I knew that the 50th anniversary republication of Expanded Cinema sidetracked him from his George Kuchar project and assumed his inactivity on Frameworks was due to his doubling down to bring that project to completion.
