Scott Bartlett(1943-1990)

He was one of the premiere experimental art filmmakers of the late 1960s and the 1970s. His acclaimed work is greatly admired by many of his better known colleagues. He was part of Francis Ford Coppola's original Zoetrope filmmakers group along with Geoge Lucas. His science fiction epic "Innerseed" was in pre-production, having completed a pre-visualization version starring a then unknown William Hurt when the project was canceled during one of many difficult periods for Zoetrope. He continued to work in various artistic endeavors and was regularly consulted by special effects crews for large Hollywood films including Altered States.
