I’m so happy my children had the chance to meet “Auntie Crystal who looks like me”

Working with Crystal was different than 99.9% of the shows Ive worked on over the last 30 years. She was incredibly gifted as a producer, strong where she needed to be to protect the crew but also  balanced for the needs of production. She was sparkly eyed and had her heart in the right place but don’t fk up her show! Boundaries - Heart - Hard Working - Fun is how I would describe her. Losing her as a colleague and film friend is very difficult because what she brought to our work place was so special. I feel so grateful to have worked for someone who cared so much about people she worked with  - she advocated for ethical filmmaking standards and championed women into higher positions when she saw their potential and was never wrong. We need to see more examples of female producers and PM’s taking up the same ideology as Crystal to ensure safe, healthy crews. That kind of support shows up on screen when the show looks good, has been scheduled properly and the crew is respected. She made us a family. I miss her and am sending love to Dave, her family and close friends. Chris xxoo

It began with a job interview for a film project—she was late, newly graduated, and still managed to win me over and get the job. That was Crystal.

What followed was a lifelong friendship. I began as her mentor, but over time she became mine, growing into an incredible producer and an even more incredible friend—truly like a little sister to me.

She was Auntie Remmey to my son, a constant through every chapter—from boyfriends to husbands, from busy days to ladies’  lunch, shared walks and recipes, and conversations about mortgages and retirement. I’m so grateful for all the years, and all the versions of us.

Some people come into your life and stay, not just in the big moments, but in the everyday, in the fabric of who you become. Crystal was that for me.

She was loyal in a way that felt unshakeable and she showed up, again and again, without question. She gave me strength when I didn’t have it, honesty when I needed it most and a belief in myself that I didn’t always carry on my own.

There was a steadiness to he and a lightness too. She made life feel more possible just by being in it.

I don’t know how to make sense of a world without her in it. I only know that I will carry her with me in everything I do, always.
