“It’s impossible to discuss the most influential filmmakers of all time without including the great Roger Corman,” Christian Parkes, founder of Beyond Fest, said in a statement. “The definitive trailblazer and pioneer of independent film, his mark on cinema is indelible, his impact unparalleled, and legacy is forever enduring. Beyond Fest wouldn’t exist without him.
“The vast majority of people can’t tell good from bad,” said Jones. “You get notes on cuts that don’t particularly make sense, to get reshoots that aren’t fixing what’s actually the problem. But mainly the executives can’t tell good from bad. And Roger knew it immediately.” Howard noted how after his successful career as a young actor, no one would take seriously his desire to direct and Corman was the first person who didn’t patronize him over the idea, agreeing to let Howard direct second-unit if he would star in “Eat My Dust!” After that movie was a success, Howard went in to pitch Corman on other ideas, including noirs, thrillers and sci-fi.
“And that changed my entire career,” she said. “All of a sudden I thought, This is a mass medium and we are here to entertain. And I never made anything again that didn’t have at least one of those three elements. And it makes me a little impatient with many Oscar nominees to this day lately, because they don’t necessarily entertain me. I want to be entertained and moved. And that’s, I think, the most important thing Roger taught me.
