He was a true inspiration and model for many of us. I can speak for myself and my studio when I say that we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Roger Corman and what he's done for independent cinema.
The Great Roger Corman had some classic cult status films. He revolutionized what passion for filmmaking truly meant. Original ideas with a very classy approach to storytelling, all I can say is.....he will be missed. Rest in Peace, Sir.

1wI felt like the scene in the movie Hawaii, where the queen died and the whistling winds came. Surely, those winds howled somewhere after this wonderful artist’s death.
