As Mr.Crosby mentioned at his best friend's eulogy in 1996, "The Sun' would never have risen without Don Gordon." Indeed, every film ever created at the Studio bore the marks of Don Gordon's distinct personality: bold, courageous, and groundbreaking. Sunrise Studios was Don's passion and the Studio was built from his creative energy and enthusiasm. The result is a library of entertaining and original films that have entertained millions over the last three decades. As Mr.Crosby eloquently put it, "Pioneers are rare, like jewels. Today, the world has lot a diamond."
