Remembering Anton Yelchin

In 2005, a young prodigy, Anton Yelchin, was the star of a film titled House of D, alongside co-stars Tea Leoni, David Duchovny, Erikah Badu, and the late Robin Williams. House of D premiered at the Beverly Hills Film Festival in 2005.

That same year, the president and founder of the BHFF, Nino Simone, was astounded by the intelligence and artistic charisma of the young actor, Anton Yelchin. Mr. Simone became a fan ever since the thoughtful conversation he had with Yelchin. He, along with the entire leadership staff at the Beverly Hills Film Festival, were extremely saddened after hearing about the loss of such a young artist.

The BHFF extends its sincere condolences to the friends and family of Anton Yelchin.
