"He was a true community builder."
When news broke last week of the death of film programmer Doug Jones, the outpouring of emotion captured what he meant to the independent film community.
@jenyamato & I spoke to a number of friends & colleagues.

Kudos to you Mike, and to the entire staff at OUTFEST. 💔

Sad to report that I and all Outfest staff have been let go from the organization. Amazed that it's come to this.
Forever grateful for the team I was able to work with the past four years.
Lots of talented folks now looking for work, so reach out with opportunities!

Can’t help but wonder what this emptiness will inspire. What’s next??
In the meantime, tonite I’m reading this from 1995, OUTFEST’s first year with a new name and new head of programming @cooperdance - quite a legacy.
