FUTURE BOOK RESEARCH

Mentor Huebner ... was a restless artist and needed to work, he liked it, and often one movie wasn't enough for him, besides painting landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes and portraits ~ to steal a quote from Jerry Dumphy, CBS and ABC News Anchor Man ~ "From the Desert to the Sea....." , he also worked on 250 feature films ~ some of them two at a time.

His credits ranged all over the visual disciplines necessary for film making and for everything else. He was an expert in all visual categories.

He was multi talented and multi credited as a Primary Production Illustrator, a Designer, a Choreographer of Complicated Sequences, an Art Director, a Production Designer, a Ghost Designer, a Conceptual Artist and a Conceptual Story Board Artist and he is the only professional motion picture artist in the entire film industry, World-Wide who has back-up to prove it.

He specialize in "action shots" and could be counted on to create the most unique and exciting designs, everything that was needed for Science Fiction Films and was very brilliant at planning shots that mixed 'special effects' with 'live action'.

And why not? His Horoscope shows that he was born with Jupiter, Mars and Pluto in his First House and five planets in Leo opposing Uranus in the House of Careers. He was destined to have a unique career and was destined for action. .

There are many people who had contact with Mentor, possibly thousands, either personally or professionally, at least once, even if for only a few minutes. Many knew him for years. During the 50 years and 250 films he met a lot of people.

Although there are many people out there who knew him - Producers, Directors, Actors, Editors, Artists, Grips, Gallery Directors, Museum Curators, Art suppliers, Printers, Janitors, Waitresses and Cops at the gate, but not everyone who knew him came from a Motion Picture Studio setting.

Mentor was very personable. He told jokes. He danced. He sang. He flirted with most women and most women flirted with him.

No one who met him would forget him. They could say they did but I would know they hadn't. He was unforgettable!

So if you ever met him, anywhere, and you would want to contribute some thoughts for publication on this site, or in one of the future books to be written about him, either with full credits or anonymously ~ email me and we'll be in touch.

Mentor was 'larger than life'.

I can easily see that although his fans loved him, there probably is someone, somewhere, who didn't. Mentor had a rather potent ego. Maybe someone had some negative thoughts about him.

All points of view and experiences with his personality are welcome. Positive or negative. Send it along. It's OK. I'll sift through all of it. His image, his talent, his genius, his spirit, can take it. So can I.

I found him to be charming.
