Richard Harrington

A true life-changer and, to my luck, a friend.

I was the composer for Rick's science fiction film ELM. He was a kind of man and an inspiration to me as a filmmaker. I directed my first feature in November 2024. I had no idea Richard had passed until just now, February of 2025. I just planted a tree in his honor. Richard's kind spirit, generous nature, and filmmaking genius will live after him and inspire generations to come.

Mr. Rick will always be an enormous figure in my life for the endeavor to make your success in life... I'm sure he wants all of us to proceed with progress with our beautiful dreams for our tomorrow's life; forever more that everything is safe and happiness is always prosperous....

I was privileged to attend his last filmmaking course at HCC. I only knew him for that long, but he was a kind and smart man. He definitely left an impression, and I hope his memory can live on

Heartfelt condolences and prayers. Heavenly peace for the loving family. Professor Harrington, great kind and , talented colleague in Spring Branch campus.

Rick was the best. He always encouraged his students to pursue their dreams. One time he handed me an old Bolex 16mm camera, a light meter and a roll of film to go capture images around the campus. That is a moment I will always cherish. Thanks for believing in us. You will always be remembered.

Prayers to the Harrington family. I was working on the Artemis back in the day. My uncle was Don McLendon and he and Rick were in the film business. I spent my entire Summer on the Artemis and have told stories about it ever since. For fathers day last year my son found a photo of the Artemis and gave it to me. Very cool. So loved Rick and Sharron back then. Again, Prayers to the Harrington family. Pat McLendon
