In Memoriam: George Butler

October 25, 2021—We are very sad to share that Director/Producer George Butler died peacefully at his home in True Farm, New Hampshire, on October 21, 2021. The cause of death at age 78 was pneumonia. George's curiosity for the natural world, for science and adventure, combined with his steadfast commitment to the giant screen, led him to create the award-winning giant screen films Roving Mars and Shackleton’s Antarctic Adventure. Most recently he was producer and director of Tiger Tiger, an IMAX documentary to be released in 2022 and made with his friend Frank Marshall, with whom he had previously partnered on Roving Mars.
