Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation (WRMPPF) is honoring one of their biggest champs this year with a posthumous recognition: late MGM and United Artists Distribution Boss Erik Lomis.
The honor will be recognized at the October 4 dinner at The Beverly Hilton. Lomis, who was a force in getting movie theaters back open as Covid quelled, and a proponent of the theatrical window with the release of the 007 title No Time to Die, passed away suddenly at 64 on March 22.
Lomis was also known for his relentless and passionate fundraising for Will Rogers. Lomis hosted last year’s Pioneer dinner which honored James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G.
Wilson. A tradition for more than 75 years, the Pioneer of the Year Award is bestowed upon esteemed and respected members in the motion picture industry whose corporate leadership, service to the community and commitment to philanthropy are exceptional.
