Classified Ad BUBA PASQUALE "PAT" Of Studio City, CA, formerly of Braddock, age 72, and a Steeler fan to the end, passed away at home in Los Angeles on Wednesday, September 12, 2018 after a brave fight with cancer. Pat was born April 16, 1946 in Braddock, PA. Beloved son of the late Edward Buba (Braddock Hills, PA) and Angeline (Gentile) Buba (Tursi, Italy). Pat is survived by his wife, Zilla Clinton; brother, Anthony (Tony) Buba; sisters- in-law, Ozzie Cowan, Jan McMannis; brother-in-law, Joe Cowan; nieces, Kelly and Jody; great-nephews; supportive cousins, including the Cuccaro and Buba cousins, who were like brothers and sisters to Pat; countless friends; and numerous godchildren who adored him. Pat graduated from Braddock High School in 1964. Pat was well-respected in the Braddock community. John Giovani Marquez, a good friend of Pasquale, said, “Pat, thanks for setting the stage for all of us coming out of Braddock back in our years. Your spirit will be in our hearts forever.” Pat was the first person in his family to attend college, and he did it in style on a full music scholarship from Carnegie Tech, now Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), where he earned a BFA in music. A talented clarinetist, Pat was always first chair. While at CMU Pat developed a love for film, earning an MFA in TV and Film Production. As an intern at WQED-TV Pittsburgh, Pat honed his editing skills by working on PBS projects, including Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. WQED is where Pat met the love of his life, Zilla Clinton. Pat’s reputation as a film editor grew quickly. He teamed with George Romero and edited many Romero films including “Day of the Dead,” “Knightriders,” “Creepshow,” “The Dark Half.” With his partners and longtime friends, John Harrison and Dusty Nelson, Pat produced and edited the cult thriller “Effects.” During his career, Pat also worked with such artists as Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, Rowdy Herrington, and Michael Mann. Pat’s films include the Hollywood blockbusters “Heat” starring Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro, and “Striking Distance” starring Bruce Willis. Pat was a member of the American Cinema Editors. Pat’s list of credits and awards are too numerous to list. One of his most prized awards was the 1996 EDDIE award as Best Editor Documentary for “Looking for Richard” directed by Al Pacino, awarded by the American Cinema Editors. The second came in 2000 when Pat and his brother Tony were named Cittadino onorario di Tursi. Pat was remarkably creative, quick-witted and kind. He had an instinct for mentoring and advising young filmmakers. Michael Felsher of Red Shirt Pictures said, “It will seem the coldest of comforts at this time, but if there is a light to be seen in the darkness, it is that Pat’s generosity of spirit continues to burn bright within me and so many others out there. Thank you, Pat. You changed my life.” Pat’s creative work affected many others. Steve Barton of Brainwaves Horror, “We here at Brainwaves Horror and Paranormal would like to take this time to offer our sincerest of condolences to Buba’s friends, family members, and constituents. Godspeed, sir, and thank you for all that you gave and for helping to create memories that will last for generations to come.” Pat’s passing will be felt by the many whose lives he touched, especially by his brother, Tony, and his wife, Zilla. It was always Patsy and Zilla, Zilla and Patsy. She was by his side to the end. He will be missed. A celebratory gathering will be held on Saturday, November 24, 2018 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at PATRICK T.

Welcome to Dead by Dawn! It’s sound advice to be more afraid of the living than the dead. Sure, the dead can kill you, but at least they’re easy to spot. In this year’s programme too many of the monsters will smile when they meet you, and will still be smiling when they lock you in a meat freezer. Or encourage you onto a ledge. Or offer to share their martini. You could try politely declining their kind offer, see how that works out... Dead by Dawn is a discovery festival which exists to showcase potential and vibrant emerging talent, but also aims to screen the widest possible range of what can be described as horror both in feature and short form.

    Program note for retrospective on George A. Romero January 11-26, 2003 BRUISER 2000, 99 mins. 35mm print source: George A. Romero. Courtesy Lions Gate Films. Written and directed by George A. Romero. Produced by Ben Barenholtz and Peter Grunwald. Executive Produced by Allen M. Shore. Original music by Donald Rubinstein. Photographed by Adam Swica. Edited by Miume Jan Eramo. Production design by Sandra Kybartas. Art direction by Mario Mercuri. Set decoration by Enrico Campana. Principal cast: Jason Flemyng (as Henry Creedlow), Peter Stormare (Milo Styles), Leslie Hope (Rosemary Newley), Nina Garbiras (Janice Creedlow), Andrew Tarbet (James Larson), Tom Atkins (Detective McCleary), Jonathan Higgins (Rakowski), Jeff Monahan (Tom Burtram), Marie Cruz (Number 9), Beatriz Pizano (Katie Saldano), Tamsin Kelsey (Mariah Breed), and Kelly King (Gloria Kite). From the article Face To No Face by Michael Rowe, Fangoria , April, 2001: From one of an endless number of nondescript warehouses in an industrial district near Toronto's lakeshore, a cluster of location vans and trailers materializes out of the dirty downtown rain. It's the last day of shooting on George A. Romero's new thriller Bruiser , and the fickle weather has tossed the crew a bone in the form of a few hours of sunlight. Not that it matters to anyone—the location is deep inside the warehouse's airless recesses. The air inside is so thick and dark that it's a small mercy to surface into the fresher air outside. In a film that embraces metaphor, the secrecy and intensity surrounding the story being shot inside couldn't have a better frame than today's location.

  • Transcript a Pinewood Dialogue with George A
    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH GEORGE A. ROMERO As a teenager growing up in the Bronx, George A. Romero was arrested for hurling a flaming dummy off a roof while filming his 8mm epic The Man from the Meteor. Always a resourceful provocateur, Romero virtually invented the independent horror movement with his ultra-low-budget zombie film Night of the Living Dead (1968) . Having lived and worked in Pittsburgh since the 1960s, Romero is a true maverick, making funny, scary, thoughtful films outside of the Hollywood system. He spoke on the opening day of a Moving Image retrospective of his films. A Pinewood Dialogue following a screening of It’s a little less human-on-human. It’s not Scream Night of the Living Dead , moderated by Giulia anymore, it’s more things like the Signs and The D’Agnolo Vallan, director of the Torino Film Others . I think they’re trying to find another way to Festival (January 11, 2003): scare people. The Ring . But none of that stuff, none of it seems to have any sort of, really, underbelly of GIULIA D’AGNOLO VALLAN: Help me welcome social criticism or satire that way. Most of the satire George Romero. (Applause) is sort of self-referential to the genre, which I don’t like too much. ROMERO: Thank you. I don’t think we really broke ground that way. I don’t think we paved the way for D’AGNOLO VALLAN: How would you describe the other filmmakers. I think there were, coincidentally, way that underbelly, the social criticism you just a lot of filmmakers during that period—that five- or made [reference to], evolved in the Dead trilogy— seven-year period—that were making films that first with Dawn of the Dead , which they will see were inspired by what was going on in the world, by tomorrow, and then in Day of the Dead ? a little bit of that anger.
