This is a still from my multi international award winning short "The Opera", shot on KODAK TRI-X Black & White Reversal Film. At the time I shot and directed this film, many people asked me why B&W when there are so many color film choices?
It is so funny how certain creativity becomes vogue again.

Wednesday, February 20th marks the 5-year anniversary of Sarah Jones’ tragic death on the Midnight Rider film set in Georgia. The past 5 years encompassed court trials, many depositions and volumes of testimonies in order to try to understand what led to such a senseless loss of life. How could this have happened, and what can we do to keep it from happening again?
As a way to express grief for Sarah Jones' passing, friends in the film industry set up a Facebook campaign called ‘Slates for Sarah’. What followed was overwhelming. Movie and TV crews from around the world posted photos of themselves with their camera slates and tributes, not only in memory of Sarah, but as a reminder to always make safety a priority on set.
In the days that followed, Elizabeth and I were approached by many, asking us to be a voice to address their set safety concerns. They feared that they would be blacklisted should they speak out. This led to the creation of the Sarah Jones Film Foundation and its ‘Safety for Sarah’ initiatives.
The Sarah Jones Film Foundation began to take hold with its mission to foster on-set safety through awareness and accountability. Our motto is ‘Never Forget – Never Again’. Our drive is to create a legacy that carries Sarah’s bright and positive spirit forward in a way that will hopefully keep others from meeting her heartbreaking fate. We continue to promote safety awareness through walk-a-thons, field days, stickers, graphics, social media, t-shirts, scholarships and camera crew opportunities.
In addition to our efforts to maintain awareness, we are working to make a permanent cultural change to the industry by starting with the industry’s future: its youth. Thus the ‘Sarah Jones Safety Grant Program’. The grants supply funds to film students to be used for such appropriate safety needs as proper permits, police to direct traffic, professional stunt coordinators, on-set medics, legal street closures, etc. We also visit and talk to the students at various universities to plant a seed emphasizing the importance of safety as an essential part of a production, no matter what the budget. Grant recipients have included students at USC, Columbia University, University of Georgia at Athens, and Ryerson University in Toronto, with other film schools on the horizon for our ongoing expansion of these grant awards.
So, while many of the efforts of the Sarah Jones Film Foundation are laying the groundwork for a safe industry, we would like to receive some feedback as to whether we are making an impact in your daily work lives. Please consider the following questions:
Do you see a difference in safety awareness and practices on set since Sarah’s death? Do you feel more empowered to speak out to address an unsafe situation? We count on your feedback in order to help us make decisions as to the best way to move forward. Responses may be submitted via SafetyForSarah.org and [email protected].
At your crew safety meeting on February 20th, we urge you to call for one minute of silence to remember Sarah and others we've lost in this fine industry, prior to calling your Jonesy Shot – the first shot of the day. We are grateful for your support in honoring Sarah's memory as a way to transform this tragedy into a force for positive change.
In memory of our daughter Sarah --
Richard Jones and Elizabeth McCartha Jones

Journey to Joy
golightlyfilms has won another top award for its work for the Children’s Cancer Association. Their film “A Journey to Joy” earned the Remi Special Jury Award for Creative Excellence at the 42nd WorldFest-Houston Independent International Film Festival. “Worldfest” is one of the longest-running and most significant film festivals in the world. The golightlyfilms team was thrilled with the outcome, given that there were more than 4,300 international categories entries in the 10 major Remi Award Competitions. The eight minute film was produced by golightlyfilms Executive Producer Kaja Zaloudek and written, directed and photographed by Director/DP Kenneth Luba.
"Deleria"
Kenneth Luba, Director/Director of Photography collaborated with Photographer Julian Wilde and Stylist/Costume Designer Raven Wilde of WildeVision Studios to produce a short speculation film titled “Deleria”. Deleria refers to the psychological and emotional states that pervade the short. There is tension, mystery, desire, confusion, elation and finally discovery. All of which leads to a state of Delirium.
