Robert Altman has died. It’s a real loss for all creatives and the world in general. He was a man who followed his own vision, his own creative voice, and he had a hell of a great career because of it.

Take some time to watch some of his films again. MASH, The Player,  Prêt-à-Porter (Ready to Wear), and even the much-maligned Popeye (which I thought deserved more praise), just to name a few, all challenge something in society and/or the world. And they do it with visual impact and great dialogue.
Mr. Altman is a good role model for all creatives. Stand up for your vision, for what you believe is right (and against what’s wrong) in the world, and be true to yourselves.
