Crew Members Stage Candlelight Vigil to Honor Sarah Jones

Variety: Nearly 1,000 people gathered on Sunset Boulevard on Friday for a candlelight vigil to honor Sarah Jones, the camera assistant killed on Feb. 20 in a train accident on the set of “Midnight Rider.”
Jones’ death has triggered a campaign to improve on-set safety, and led to the inclusion of a portrait of Jones on the Academy Awards on Sunday and vows from some union officials to press the issue.
The candlelight vigil went from the Directors Guild of America to the International Cinematographers Guild, Local 600, a few blocks away.
