Premium Members Dave Chameides Posted February 25, 2014 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I want to thank Jessica for jumping on my idea so quickly. I think it's a great tribute and am proud to have her among our core of ops. I don't think that came through earlier. It's been a rough couple of days to be sure. I think the Slates for Sarah page on FB is out of this world and I can't imagine any family member who wouldn't be touched that people were honoring their loved ones in this way. Shows how great members of our little club can be. Be Well. Be Good. Be Safe. Speak Up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Lars Erik Posted February 25, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Agreed Dave. One slate coming up on FB from Norway later today. Even though this happened in the US, the short cuts our industry sometimes takes, I suspect has no nationality. I have at least seen my share of stupidity on set. Lets hope that her death will at least force crews and producers to reconsider possible dangerous situations in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Dave Chameides Posted February 27, 2014 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 A friend of mine sent this to me last night. She lives in Mass. and is not a filmmaker. Other than being a dear friend of mine and an amazing soul, she has no real connection to the film industry. She read about Sarah and saw what is going on, pulled this slate she bought on a whim at a tag sale out of the closet, and posted this up for Sarah.How amazing is that? Not just my friend, but the fact that this travesty (it wasn't an accident) has jumped. People are touched, not only by what happened, but by what is happening now. Sarah has become a beacon of sorts for all of those who feel helpless but recognize we don't have to be. It's not just about the film industry, it's about everything. Every one of us who day in and day out sees injustice, on the set, in the news, in our lives, and wants to speak up, NOW IS YOUR TIME.The slates have been AMAZING and INSPIRING and UNBELIEVABLE and while they are little consolation, I can't imagine what it must mean to her parents to know that so many others have been affected by this. But we need to move forward and turn this into real change. We need to increase safety and vigilance on sets. We need to shorten our hours. We need to make sure that everyone gets home safe every night and most importantly, we need to realize that these things only happen when we speak up and make some noise.Please continue making noise. People are listening. The press is listening. The world is listening. I am listening. And you are listening. And as long as we have at least those last two pieces, we have a dialogue. Talk to each other on sets about what true change can look like. Plan. Be active. Seek input. Be vigilant. Have a quick morning meeting every morning to remind people that you have their back and you need them to have yours. Care. And actively show people that you do with both words and actions.For Sarah. For Brent. For Vic Morrow and the two kids he was with who seem to have been forgotten. For so many names I don't know. For the names I never want to have to know. Do something today that makes a difference.Be Well. Be Good. Be Safe. Speak Up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sanchez Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Such a tragic loss, life taken too soon - thoughts and prayers to her family and friends during this tough time. Someone needs to be accountable for her death, such a tragedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
