If the name isn’t familiar, check out this Oscar winner’s amazing credits—one of which, I’m proud to say, was a Phillips Petroleum TV commercial he shot for me in the ‘70s. Mr. Wexler was 93.

Skimming his IMDB page, I can proudly proclaim that I have never heard of him or seen any of his movies.
Thanks for the nice comment.
He certainly was gifted at his craft. Bound For Glory is a remarkable film, with amazing shots.

Wow! You got to work with him? You’re lucky.
His experience and some of the things he created?
I’ve seen his works. He would’ve been interesting to talk to about his experiences.
How sad.
Here’s to his excellent talent! clink
He’s associated with some very well-known films. I remember seeing Medium Cool when it first came out, it is the only film I know that uses the music of Frank Zappa.
