IATSE 491 recently recognized its outgoing president, Harrison Palmer. Here’s what they said.
“Harrison Palmer gave 25 years to Local 491 as president, and is still working on Hunting Wives in the cold temps and slush as this is released. A well-read man in a time of light education, his movie and concert critiques are highly sought-after, not to mention his caustic, irreverent parade reactions! He managed to flip the bird in nearly every photo of him ever taken…a goal unsurpassed in the industry as far as we know. His Letter from the Prez feature always gave insight, hope, and fabulous concert tips. We’ll miss ya, Harry! Thank you for your humor, your heart, and the love you showed Local 491 during your term of office.”
