This news saddens me greatly. I had the great pleasure of speaking with Suzan at length many times while operating Canyon Cinema. With fondness I remember the year that I asked her to present her work at the Latinoamericano Cine del Nuevo International Festival in Havana. We had the chance to hang out, party and laugh almost continuously telling stories of filmmakers we both knew and the thrill of just being in Havana.
Cuban filmmakers and audiences were impressed with her films since they had never seen any of her films. Suzan was extremely happy that she had the opportunity to expose her films to the Cuban people. For both the both of us it was an extremely rewarding experience that I remember with fondness to this day. Suzan will be missed by many of us in the AG Community Dominic > On Jun 17, 2019, at 12:21 AM, Eric Theise <[email protected]> wrote: > > I've only come across what Laura Kraning posted to Suzan's Facebook page, > which was: > > "Dearest friends, > > We are so sorry to report the very sad news that our dear Suzan Pitt passed > away this morning at her home in New Mexico.
