Michael Schmidt is dead, the Sipur President & Red Arrow Studios Co-Founder, who worked on 'We Will Dance Again' & 'Bad Boy', was 52.
Schenker called Schmidt a “driving force who has been with me since the beginning in shaping our expanding international strategy.” “He was as a visionary, hands-on leader and a true champion of the global entertainment industry who has played such a key role in Sipur’s phenomenal growth in a relatively short amount of time,” he added. He moved to Israel’s Sipur several years back, where the team said he was known as “The Oracle of Sipur.” Credits included October 7 doc We Will Dance Again, The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes and Bad Boy, the latter of which was made with North Road, home of his former colleague Jan Frouman. Only two weeks ago, Schmidt and the We Will Dance Again team received an Honorary Emmy for their exceptional achievement in a Television Academy Honors ceremony in Los Angeles.
