The life celebration of June Foray 07/19/2017

What a fantastic evening! Mark Evanier , Tom Sito, Jerry Beck, David Nimitz, Howard Green etc put on a great show. So much love and dedication went into the program. She was OUR June, and I don't care how old someone is when they pass, it will always be sad. But this evening was a life celebration, and it was fun and filled with jokes. What more could someone want in a lifetime? I was so lucky to have her in my life.

My life with June Foray.

Here's my story with June Foray... Started back in 2003, I would commute from San Fransisco to Woodland Hills to record June Foray, when I was making student films. While visiting her home, I noticed all the photos and art cels on her walls. She had a lot of interesting stories about her life. I decided to film her talking about her past voice over and acting gigs. The more I would film and come visit June in LA, the more people starting getting involved with the project. It started as a friendly interview that would be about 5 minutes with clips, to a running time of 65 minutes. I couldn't cover her life stories in a 10 minute documentary. I interviewed Phil Roman, Bill Melendez, Eric Goldberg, Tom Kenny, Matt Groening, Bill LittleJohn, Tom Sito, Jerry Beck, Art Leonardi etc. These are people I admired and was excited to hear their side of the story. So 8 plus years later I finished the film and started having screenings. I got to screen it with June and her family, and that was the greatest feeling ever. So thank you June, You have made my life, and incredible one. Huge shot outs to Dave Nimitz, Stephen Nasto, and Tyler Knudsen, Brooks Knudsen, and my wife Rachel Freitas for making it all happen.

The One and Only June Foray Doc screeing

I would like to thank everyone who attended my documentary screening of "The One and Only June Foray" at Dreamworks Animation Studio last night. Many of my hero's where there watching what took me six years to make. I have been sooo lucky to have worked with June, and have her in my life. June is just one of the best, and I couldn't have picked a better person to make a documentary about. I had such a blast making it, I would do it all over again if I had too :) Everyone's reactions to it just blew me away. I need to put up some pictures of what people have been sending me but here's a few.

2011 Spike TV Scream Awards

Hey Everyone, sorry about any delay but Spike TV just contacted me about video footage from my documentary, "The One and Only June Foray". They are honoring June the 2011 COMIC-CON Icon (honorary award). I provided footage with June, Simpsons and Fururama creator Matt Groening, Voice actor Tom Kenny (Spongbob Square Pants), Voice actor Billy West (Futurama and Ren & Stimpy) and Leonard Maltin (famous critic). Give or take I did provide footage of the trailer as seen below but I don't know if they use it on the screen. They will air about a minute of interviews and clips from it. Last years winner was Ray Bradbury. I don't know what time June will be honored but please stay tuned as I am attending the show and will let you know. The Program airs on Spike October 18th at 9/8pm Central Time. Here's a Link: http://www.spike.com/events/scream-awards-2011/
