It is with a heavy heart that we write this email.  Our editor Phil Allen passed away yesterday from prostate cancer. He worked with us at Media Projects for over 20 years. He was a talented editor and good friend.  Some of the films he edited were A FAIR TO REMEMBER, The Legacy film for the Sixth Floor Museum, MAKE ME A MATCH, IN HER SHOES and so many more. He was a talented editor and a kind and generous person. We will miss him dearly.   Cynthia Salzman and Allen Mondell

He leaves a wife, Laurel and grown son Cameron. If you want to send a card the address is:
2524 Sidwin Street
Dallas, Texas 75228

I am so sorry to hear this, Cynthia
Thank you for sharing. He did a wonderful job! Lovely work.

Yes, another big loss for the DFW industry.

Phil was one of those truly good guys. Though I hadn't seen or worked with him a while, it wouldn't have mattered, because It was like we'd just been together.  Friendly, agreeable, and ready to lend a helping hand, our community has lost a wonderful soul.

So sorry to hear this.  I always enjoyed talking with Phil and those times I got to work with him.
