Mood:  don't ask

-EDITED  I stand corrected. Either I am not in the entertainment channel news universe or this Academy Award winning director has passed on with little notice or paid attention.

Hollywood film Director...Academy Award winning film director and film producer

Anthony Minghella

has died aged 54 .

'The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency,” which recently completed filming in Botswana was his latest effort which he may very well end up receiving a post-humous Award for, who knows?

This brings to mind for me once upon a time that I took a week-ender scriptwriter course in Vancouver and whereas "Truly, Madly, Deeply," (was also Mr.Minghellas directorial debut: YouTube ) was one of our case studies. It had won a BAFTA for best original screenplay and Australian Film Institute's Best Foreign Film Award. Not bad for a Directorial debut!!

The world has lost another great. Expect the entertainment world reporters and press to wretch this for all of what its worth. A sad story. Please make a donation for cancer research today.
