Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted October 20, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted October 20, 2006 Today on the set of "Big Love" word came down that Jim Glennon, ASC, who also shot Season One, died this morning in a hospital. I was supposed to alternate episodes with him, but had to finish the last day of his first episode after he fell ill, and also shot Episode Three after completing Episode Two (Haskell Wexler just completed Episode Four after Jim asked him to come in.) I spent much of Episode One watching him work and talking to him to get a feel for the look of the show. He was a generous and energetic individual, a very passionate soul who loved to teach others what he had learned. Much of the cast, production office, and crew, who had worked with him last season as well, plus other HBO shows like "Deadwood", were quite devastated by the news. Jim is probably most known for the Alexander Payne movies he shot (like "Election") and for being the U.S. locations Director of Photography on "Return of the Jedi" working alongside DP Alan Hume. Jim's credits: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0322694/ Jim's father was Burt Glennon, ASC: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0322688/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Wendell_Greene Posted October 20, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted October 20, 2006 Very sorry to hear the unfortunate news. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Mr. Mullen; may he rest in peace. Very sad news. My deepest sympathies to his family and also to you David on the loss of your friend and colleague. I once had the privilege of hearing him talk about what a great experience he had working as an operator for Jordan Cronenweth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tim Partridge Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Very sad to hear this. Thoughts and prayers with family and friends. A real talent. Check out CITIZEN RUTH which was done on a shoestring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adam Frisch FSF Posted October 20, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted October 20, 2006 That's very sad to hear. We shared the same agent here in London, but I don't think he shot that much here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiltrite Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I just can't believe it. Jim was so generous with his knowledge, which was vast. Words are failing me. Rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
