Caroline Brew editor Josh Kramer, who worked as a film producer and financier and Amazon executive, died Nov. 27 in Santa Monica, Calif.
He was 67. Kramer started his career in entertainment in foreign sales for the Italian producer Dino De Laurentiis. By pre-selling foreign movie rights, he became an integral member of the company, financing films such as “Manhunter” and “Blue Velvet.” He led the acquisition of the film rights for Madonna’s first concert film “Madonna: Truth or Dare” and later sold the film overseas.
Rachael Horovitz, who worked with him at De Laurentiis, remembered Kramer on his memorial site. “A concert pianist who helped right the Beastie Boys tourbus one night in Paris when rabid fans were tipping it over; a patient negotiator who cried reading J.D.
Salinger. His contradictions made him.” He joined forces with Thom Mount to form the Mount/Kramer Company in the early ’90s, producing Roman Polanski’s “Death and the Maiden” and Sidney Lumet’s “Night Falls on Manhattan.” Kramer then became the head of sales for Capitol Films, joined international acquisitions at MGM and supported artist and engineer Chuck Hoberman on various inventions.
