A celebration of life has been set for Jason Constantine, the veteran film govt who died on June 3 at age 55.
Colleagues, family and friends are welcome to the service on the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood on August 12 at 10 a.m. Organizers stated the occasion will “acknowledge and pay tribute to Jason’s extraordinary life, his affect amongst his colleagues, and his devotion to his household, in addition to seize the profound affect he had on screens around the globe.”
Constantine started working at Lionsgate greater than 25 years in the past, first as director of acquisitions on the firm’s predecessor Trimark Footage. He oversaw a few of Lionsgate’s greatest franchises, together with Keanu Reeves’ motion collection “John Wick” and horror serial “Noticed.” Constantine pushed for the corporate to amass “Noticed” after watching a proof-of-concept brief; years later, each the “Noticed” and “John Wick” franchises have grossed greater than $1 billion on the international field workplace.
In lieu of flowers, the Constantine household continues to request those that want to make items in Jason’s reminiscence take into account funding the mind most cancers analysis performed by Jason’s neurosurgeons at Stanford, or analysis completed by his neuro-oncology workforce at UCLA led by Dr. Tim Cloughesy and Dr. Robert Chong.
A local Californian and lifelong movie fan, Constantine obtained his B.A. from Princeton College and his M.F.A in movie manufacturing from Loyola Marymount College. He wrote and directed the brief movies “For Whom the Marriage ceremony Bell Tolls” and “Ashes,” which gained the Producers Guild of America Award for finest pupil brief movie. Constantine is survived by his spouse, Kristin, and his sons Lucas, Xander and Nicholas.
