This piece is one part loving obituary and one part urgent call-to-action around the undeniable need for our independent film industry to put some sort of safety nets in place for our beloved and aging indie film leadership. Ironically, when I wrote this piece just two months ago, who could have imagined that the topic of safety nets would become so important to All Of Us given the ways in which our industry has been so dramatically halted and upended by the #Coronavirus public health pandemic?By Marc Smolowitz

For context, I am currently developing a new film as a director on these topics, and I hope to gather steam among key indie film organizations in the coming months, so we can all come together (either online or in-person when safe to do so) to create new programs and initiatives that help build safety nets for the most vulnerable in our industry.

With great sadness we report that Dan Talbot's 43 year old company New Yorker Films is ceasing operations. Rumor during the Spirit Awards was that he was asking Palm Pictures, where Bob Berney is nesting currently with Jeannie Bernie, recently of New York Film Society, to take over his collection. No solid news however has hit the press yet. Dan Talbot and New Yorker are legendary and loved. His theater, Lincoln Plaza Cinema is said to be intact. To repeat IndieWire's list of film community members who have worked at New Yorker, are Bingham Ray, Jeff Lipsky, John Vanco, Susan Wrubel, Mary Ann Hult, Mark Lipsky, Sasha Berman, Suzanne Fedak, Rebecca Conget and Harris Dew. Personally, when head of acquisitions at Republic Pictures, he called me and offered me a straight video distribution deal (no advance, no mg) to Juzo Itami's Tampopo and The Funeral from him at at time when he never paid more than $5,000 for U.S. rights to foreign language films. Tampopo was an evergreen seller for us and in fact, it's still showing theatrically in U.S. and it's being offered by Amazon on DVD. And Juzo Itami himself was a national treasure of Japan.
