Official statement from Collider about the passing of our dear friend and co-worker Jon Schnepp:

He was a key creative force in the animated series Metalocalypse, worked on the animated series The Venture Bros. and the Black Panther animated series. And recently, Jon made his feature debut by directing the terrific 2015 documentary The Death of “Superman Lives”: What Happened? with his partner Holly Payne producing it. Schnepp’s passion for art was infectious, and his knowledge—especially when it came to comic books—was legendary. He was a fan first and foremost, and the excitement with which he discussed film, comics, stories, and storytellers was palpable.

On this video, Mark Ellis reads the statement from Holly and Jon’s family and our statement from Collider on the passing of our beloved Jon Schnepp. We ask that you respect the privacy of Jon’s family, friends, and co-workers during this difficult time. Our thoughts are with all those who knew him, or were fans of Jon, as he leaves behind a legacy of love and passion that will never be forgotten. We also ask that you please consider donating to the immense medical costs on Holly’s official GoFundMe page. One more time… Sweaties, unite.
