A Celebration of Life will be held in Hollywood on August 12 for Lionsgate executive Jason Constantine, who died of cancer on June 3 aged 55.
The event will take place at 10am at First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood and is open to all who knew Constantine.
The industry veteran began his career more than 25 years ago as a director of acquisitions at Trimark Pictures, which folded into Lionsgate in 2001. A long tenure at Lionsgate saw him become an early champion of the Saw franchise and spanned franchises including the evergreen John Wick property and The Expendables.
He worked on Crash, Precious, Knives Out, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, Kick-Ass, Angel Has Fallen, Cabin In The Woods, The Girl With The Pearl Earring, Margin Call, and Dear White People
A native Californian, Constantine graduated from Princeton University and earned his MFA in film production from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. He wrote and directed two shorts: For Whom The Wedding Bell Tolls, and Ashes, which won the Producers Guild of America Award for best student short.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests well-wishers consider funding the brain cancer research conducted by Constantine’s neurosurgeons at Stanford and UCLA.
