It was not unexpected, but very sad to hear the news that George Kuchar passed away on September 6, 2011. The accolades will be pouring in for this wonderful maker of movies, but to me he was always inspiring, generous, hilarious, and genuinely strange. I asked George to record a video to the people of the future a few weeks ago, so here it is. Say hi to Curt, George.
"Live in the past. It's a lot of fun. But make sure that you have a past. Otherwise your future will be kinda bleak. You might as well get your head full of memories. Some of it dirty memories. But then you can always call in the priest and I think you get a benediction or something. They will forgive your sins. And make sure that you eat hearty. Remember also that vegetarianism is very good too." - George Kuchar
What a blessing to have known George. YouTube is George's kingdom now.

Goshh. I wish I could have met George. I see his brother on campus often though. He has a really interesting class called Sinema something-something.

aw, i'ma cry. Bye, George. Thanks so much for this video, I acted in a few of George's productions at the Art Institute several several years ago, about 14 to be precise, and I always said I would get back there and do more. Ah well. There is still Mike. Love and miss you George!

Interesting guy! This reminds me that it's been a while since I've seen his work. He reminds me of Tony Clifton in this clip.
