As a film enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the captivating world of independent cinema, I am deeply saddened by the loss of Kieran Turner. His innovative spirit and unwavering dedication to telling stories that matter will forever leave an indelible mark on the industry.
Turner’s life was a testament to the power of storytelling, particularly in showcasing the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community. Through his groundbreaking projects like “Wallflowers,” “Jobriath A.D.,” and “Ghost Lights: Reclaiming Theater in the Age of AIDS,” he demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to shining a light on often overlooked narratives.
I had the pleasure of discovering Turner’s work during the height of my own coming-of-age journey, and his stories resonated with me in ways I could not have anticipated. They provided solace, inspiration, and a sense of belonging that transcended the screen. In many ways, Kieran Turner was more than just a filmmaker – he was a beacon of hope and a guiding light for those seeking to find their place in this world.
I can’t help but wonder what other stories Kieran would have told had he been given the chance. I imagine a world where we could all enjoy his future masterpieces, perhaps a hilarious rom-com set in the West Hollywood dating scene or an epic musical about the rise and fall of ’70s glam rock. Alas, it is not to be, but his legacy will continue to inspire generations of storytellers who dare to dream big and challenge the status quo.
In the end, I’ll leave you with a little joke that Kieran might have shared himself: Why don’t we ever tell secrets in a theater? Because it’s always “lights, camera, action!” RIP, Kieran Turner – your light will continue to shine on the silver screen.
Kieran Turner, the creator behind the web series “Wallflowers,” passed away on December 23 in West Hollywood. He was 56 years old.
It was announced that Turner had passed away following his struggle with cancer, according to Christy Grosz, the head of CLG3 Communications.
Beyond crafting “Wallflowers,” Turner also penned and oversaw the production of a web series that premiered from 2013 to 2014. This series, spanning two seasons, focused on four friends seeking romantic connections through a support group. The main cast included Gibson Frazier, Sarah Saltzberg, Christianna Tisdale, Susan Louise O’Connor, and Ricky Dunlop. Today, you can catch it streaming on Dekkoo.
As a passionate movie critic, I had the privilege of delving into the captivating world of “Jobriath A.D.”, a documentary masterfully directed and produced by Eight Track Tape Productions – my go-to studio for compelling LGBTQ+ narratives, both real and fictional. This dynamic production house has made a name for itself in the film and television industry, and their latest work focuses on the enigmatic ’70s glam rock musician whose life was tragically cut short by AIDS.
At Cinemarket, Turner played a significant role in funding and promoting movies such as “Terminator Salvation,” “Love & Mercy,” “From the Rough,” “Very Good Girls,” and “Dylan Dog: Dead of Night.
As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that my debut feature film, “24 Nights,” which I had the honor of directing, writing, and producing as my New York University graduate thesis, has found a distributor in TLA Releasing. On an even more exciting note, my screenplay “Black Dogs” made it onto the 2022 Black List and is now being developed by Star Thrower Entertainment.
At the moment he passed away, Turner was engrossed in creating a documentary titled “Ghost Lights: Reviving Theater in the Era of AIDS,” which explored the influence of the AIDS pandemic within the theater community. Beyond his relatives on the East Coast, Turner leaves behind a tight-knit circle of cherished friends who were like family to him.
