Today marks five years since the indie film community had its lost friend and mentor Don Dohler. With 11 horror/sci-fi films he was able to carve out a cult status for himself around the world. He helped start the careers of JJ Abrams, Tom Sullivan and Tom Savini. An award-winning documentary about him has been seen all over the planet. Not a bad track record for a man that started making movies in his backyard.
Don’s movies and the magazines he published were a tremendous influence to the Do-It-Yourself Indie Filmmaker, and hopefully by honoring his memory they will continue to do so. Rest in peace Don. Your fans, family and friends love and miss you.
