"A good friend and true indie filmmaker died tonight too young," independent filmmaker Cassian Elwes wrote on Twitter. "I'm so sad. Hold your loved ones close. Life is precious and fleeting." He also said, "What people don't realize is actually Hollywood is a small town. Everyone eventually meets everyone. The indie film circuit of people who consistently make indie films is even smaller. We all know each other really well because we are kindred spirits. We lost a very important person in our circle tonight."
