Folks, It is with a sad heart that I have to report the passing Tony Gangemi. He was a member of the boards. His script, Elf Analysis was a featured script. He is survived by his writing partner Aimee Parrot. He will be missed. If you are on Facebook, more information about Tony can be found on Aimee's Facebook page. Don |

I did not know Tony.
From his face book page, he appeared young. What could have come from him in the years to come is a sad contemplation.
He was in love. You can see that from his life story. He wrote with his wife, they shared their talents and passions together. That makes his life here, good time and worthwhile.
He was obviously cared for by some of the members here and for their loss as well, my deepest condolences.
Many people pass with little fan fare or no refection from anyone because they touched no one. Tony touched some here.
Celebrate that and remember him in that light.

I first got to know Tony and Aimee at the NYC Midnight Madness in -06, I believe. They kicked ass and I still remember their entry.
They were also part of the group that became the start of MoviePoet. They were a great writing pair. I always thought it was so awesome to have your life partner be your co-writer.
I believe they have a feature in production. Fighting Belle. I was looking forward to that one.
When I found out what had happened to Tony, I felt sick. I had a hard time to comprehend what had happened. I liked Tony. I liked Aimee and I loved their work.
Even though we were not close friends, the news struck me hard. I can't imagine what Aimee is going through.
Hopefully, Fighting Belle or Car Wash Joey or some other script of theirs will get made and his memory will live on for everyone. |

Yes, very sad news. I didn't know Tony at all, but I saw him comment on MP once and his old friends got happy to see him say something - can be told that he was loved by many. Very sad and my condolences to his wife and relatives. I looked up their website, quite a few are in development/preproduction: http://www.freewebs.com/aimeeandtony/Hopefully, Aimee or someone else on her behalf spreads the word when the films are out. |

Sorry to here this. My condolences to his family an all that knew Tony.
I have to say, I never had the opportunity of meeting Tony though his work will live on the Net forever. When his name is googled, his efforts will appear for all to read for many years to come.
Life can be short and unpredictable, and after the death of a close friend a few years back, I feel that we all need to make the most of every opportunity that crosses our path, including helping those who are less fortunate than us.
MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY DAY, LOVE, LIVE AND ENJOY. |

I'm very sad to hear this. I didn't know him at all, but it still hits me when a member of the community is taken from us. My condolences to Aimee and the family. |

I'm very sorry to hear this. I remember his comments as being straight-up and helpful. I also remember him as being one of the first members to get produced. My condolences, Aimee.

Thank you everyone, so much, for your words of sympathy and support. It's been a while since I've been active here, or since Tony was, and I am so touched that Don put up this announcement and that so many people have commented.
Tony struggled with depression as long as I knew him. I am heartbroken that his life ended this way. His 43rd birthday would have been this coming Friday. For anybody who is interested, people all around the world who cared about Tony are going to be performing acts of kindness. This started as a small thing that my family and I were going to do to remember, 43 acts of kindness on his 43rd birthday. It's turned into something so much bigger than I could have imagined. So if you are able, please do something kind for someone else on Friday. It can be anonymous. It can be big or small. It can be as simple as paying someone an unexpected compliment on their script here on the boards, or buying someone a cup of coffee; or as large as making a donation to a charity. If you do decide to participate, I'd love it if you'd let me know what you do and post it here or friend me on Facebook and let me know there.
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you. It's hard for me to imagine, now, screenwriting without my beloved husband and partner. But at some point, I am going to make it my mission to get at least one of the features we wrote together to the big screen. Simply Scripts has been a huge part of our success in optioning the features we have optioned. Tony was grateful for that, as am I.
Aimee

I'm so sorry to hear about this, Aimee. I can't imagine what you and your family are going through, but I think the 43 on 43 is a great idea.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and yours. |
