August 28, 2108—The Giant Screen Cinema Association (GSCA) is pleased to announce that Toni Myers and Jonathan Barker have been named recipients of the GSCA 2018 Outstanding Achievement Award. A visionary and pioneering filmmaker, Toni Myers has graced the giant screen cinema industry since its beginning as editor, writer, producer, director, and even sometimes narrator. Jonathan Barker was a world leader in 3D film production and distribution, specializing in IMAX®/giant screen films that combine human drama and natural history discoveries. Both awards will be presented during the GSCA Achievement Awards on Friday, September 21, at the Westin Chattanooga as part of the annual GSCA International Conference and Trade Show.

It is with profound sadness that we share the news that illustrious producer, distributor, industry leader, and GSCA board member Jonathan Barker passed away, surrounded by family and friends, the morning of July 5 from cancer. Jonathan was the CEO of SK Films, which he founded 20 years ago with his wife Wendy MacKeigan and Bob Kerr, co-founder of IMAX Corporation. Under his leadership, SK established a presence as one of the stalwarts of the industry, recognized with multiple GSCA awards.
