Co-Executive Producer, David Knight talks about 'Remembering Gene Wilder', Winning Best Overall Documentary at Newport Beach Film Festival (NBFF), tying with 'The Disappearance of Shere Hite'.
David Knight along with his wife Julie Nimoy are the executive producers behind 'Remembering Gene Wilder', a wonderful documentary written by Glenn Kirschbaum detailing the life of the comedic genius who we lost to Alzheimer's.
A true labor of love from Executive Producers David Knight and Julie Nimoy, who first collaborated with Ron Frank on, ‘Remembering Leonard: His Life, Legacy and Battle with COPD‘, in 2017, which also screened at the Newport Beach Film Festival.
That documentary lead to Nimoy reaching out to Karen Wilder, Gene’s widow about doing a similar documentary in his honor. Once word got out, Frank had only one person in mind to write this love letter to one Gene Wilder and that was Kirschbaum.
Through the ‘Remembering Leonard: His Life, Legacy and Battle with COPD‘ documentary, Knight and Nimoy reached out to Karen Wilder, Gene's widow and with her blessing began working on 'Remembering Gene Wilder'.
Knight details the love he, Nimoy and Kirschbaum have for Wilder, what it was like working with Mel Brooks on the documentary and being able to share stories of an actor that needs to be preserved for future generations.
Knight also answers the question, "Which is the better film? 'Blazing Saddles' or 'Young Frankenstein'?" The answer will not surprise anyone.
‘Remembering Gene Wilder‘ is currently on the film festival circuit and will land a theatrical run in the near future.
In the meantime, follow ‘Remembering Gene Wilder‘ on Twitter @RememberGene and on Facebook at Remembering Gene Wilder Documentary. The official website genewilderdoc.com, will have more information in the near future.
