‘Tony's great love of cinema was matched by his profound knowledge and understanding of it. He was a delight to collaborate with, and a true inspiration to us all.’ - Mike Leigh, filmmaker.

‘Tony loved us filmmakers; and I held his kindness and integrity, I held his sense of fun and his willingness always to confront mediocrity, and I will hold his memory with a gentle lasting touch.’ - Karl Francis, filmmaker.

‘I am overwhelmed with sadness and fond memories - Tony put a lot of work into the International Black Film Festival and without him I would not have had the opportunity to screen BME films in Wales. Any success the festival has had has been down to him.’ - Yvonne Connike, Director, International Black Film Festival Wales.

‘Without Tony there simply wouldn't be a Bad Film Club and all the cool stuff we've been able to do over the last three years is really down to him.’ - Nicko Vaughan, Bad Film Club.

‘Tony was an inspirational programmer and manager and made a very significant contribution to Chapter’s popular success. He also developed a national reputation for stretching the boundaries of cinema presentation, massively broadening people’s opportunities to explore and appreciate the richness and diversity of world cinema. Above all, Tony was an immensely likeable man and a central member of Chapter’s family.’ - John Matthews, Chair of Chapter’s Board.

‘I worked for Ty Ffilm Workshop in Chapter for over four years. During that time Tony became a good friend. Without Tony’s help, generosity, support and enthusiasm my own filmmaking career may well have come to a shuddering halt. He offered to screen my short films a number of times before main features at Chapter and his enthusiasm for my work gave me much needed confidence and reason to continue. Tony also supported my first feature allowing dozens of screenings to happen for free, he even attended our premiere and went out of his way to compliment and support. Tony’s enthusiasm and love of cinema was always an inspiration for me, I miss chatting with him in the bar after work and hope he knew just how grateful I was for his immense support and interest.’ - Michael Barnes, filmmaker.
