GENERALIZED BRAIN ATROPHY

2/12/2016

3 Comments

 
Here is the definition of what is affecting me. I have been fighting it to with my drive to make movies but yesterday it was clear to me I have degraded to far, and I could not overcome the disease. My dementia had progressed to the point I have lost to much brain, to much of me. The definition:
Cerebral atrophy is a common feature of many of the diseases that affect the brain. Atrophy of any tissue means loss of cells. In brain tissue, atrophy describes a loss of neurons and the connections between them. Atrophy can be generalized, which means that all of the brain has shrunk; or it can be focal, affecting only a limited area of the brain and resulting in a decrease of the functions that area of the brain controls. If the cerebral hemispheres (the two lobes of the brain that form the cerebrum) are affected, conscious thought and voluntary processes may be impaired.

Even I cannot make any more films because the Dementia progressed quicker than I thought possible. I will always consider it my final creative effort as a filmmaker. I know all of you are disappointed, none more than I. I so wanted to bring the talented cast and crew to the world's attention. They made my last days as a filmmaker so satisfying and a joy. But they diseased has truly dimmed my brain to the point I can no longer fight it. It's robbed me of everything. My ability to think and even walk.


- Albert.

Dear Albert.

You have been such an inspiration to movie fans everywhere - and will continue to be - not only because of your uniquely eccentric and eclectic body of work, but also because of your enthusiasm for making movies, because of your modesty and self-deprecation, and because of your generosity towards the fans of genre cinema (for instance, I have quite a number of books where you have kindly donated a foreword, an interview, or a memorable quote).

I have a particular affection for the movies you made in the 1990s: and their existence as a whole body of work also means that each individual movie can be enjoyed even more richly as a result of seeing them in the context of the your overall 90's catalogue.

Hopefully, this appreciation comes over in the podcast that I made in August 2015 to celebrate one of your early 90's works: Knights.

This podcast can be found at:

It's a podcast whose aim is to celebrate the best in genre cinema for the past 30 years.

And if I can pass on to others just a fraction of the engagement and enthusiasm that you have communicated to fans like me for enjoying genre movies, then that would be so pleasing.

Thank you, Albert, for being - and continuing to be - an inspiration to moviegoers in so many ways.
