Looney Tunes

 

LOS ANGELES, July 30 (AP) – Kayo Hatta, an independent filmmaker… died on July 20. She was 47.

She accidentally drowned at a friend’s home in the San Diego area, her sister Julie Hatta said….

Ms. Hatta graduated from Stanford University with a degree in English and received a master’s degree in film from the University of California, Los Angeles.

She recently completed a 30-minute coming-of-age film called “Fishbowl,” based on the writings of Hawaiian author Lois-Ann Yamanaka.

From Log24 on Moon Day, July 20,
the date of Hatta’s death:

Quote from an earlier entry:

“In honor of Roger Cooke’s review of Helson’s Harmonic Analysis, 2nd Edition, today’s site music is “Moonlight in Vermont.”

Quote from July 20: 

“And if the band you’re in
   starts playing different tunes
 I’ll see you on
   the dark side of the moon.”

Quote from Lois-Ann Yamanaka:

Blu’s Hanging

   … Poppy still plays “Moon River” in the background.
   He sings aloud:
   “Old dreammaker, you heartbreaker, wherever you’re going, I’m going your way.”
   He makes me afraid.
   I know where he wants to go.
   And who the dreammaker is.
