I was heartbroken to learn about Marc's passing today. I met Marc through his screenwriting classes in McLean, VA. I lived in Old Town Alexandria, and took his class three times, it was so inspiring! I connected him with the DC branch of Women in Film and Video (WIFV) and their amazing email listserve. Many times I announced his next course offering to the membership. He was always sincerely grateful for the exposure and I was very happy to share the joy he was with everyone who cares about film. I remember how sweetly he would speak of Jami, and it was clear that she was the love of his life. He was one of a kind and I am SO sad that he is gone. It will be an interesting conversation when we meet again!

Marc and I were in grad school at the UI together back in the mid 1980s. I designed costumes for his playwrights festival play, Airottart. We became friends during those 3 years of intense classes, productions, and hard work. Marc and I used to go to a local restaurant after we finished work in the theatre building and had cappuccinos. We talked about life and our hopes and dreams. I always hoped to see him again and was shocked to learn that he died 2 years ago. Where does the time go? It was long ago, but the friends made back then live large in my memory. Marc, you know things now that the rest of us don't. RIP pal.

As a screenwriter, I learned how to keep working on scripts to deepen the story!

I didn't know about Marc Lapadula's death, and I'm a little shocked to be reading about it now. I met Marc as an English major at the University of Delaware. While working on two screenplays for my senior thesis, I signed up for a screenwriting class with him at the University of Penn. He was such a joy and an incredibly gifted teacher and advisor. I took another class with him in 2001, and I recall his wife attending one of the classes. He was beaming with happiness! While cleaning out some old papers, I came across one of the screenplays written by a student in 2001 which reminded me the second set of classes with Marc. And here I am now reading memories of him. Even we're now at the two-year anniversary, I will add Marc and his family to my prayers throughout the month of August.

I met Marc in 2019 at a One Day University event in Philadelphia. We bonded over football his allegiance to Iowa and me to Penn State. During the lockdown he presented two Zoom presentations to my synagogue Temple Beth Shalom, Brigantine NJ.

Marc was the first person I met at the University of East Anglia in 1983, when we were both MA students. He introduced himself to me in the queue to collect our student ID cards. After graduating we lost touch, apart from one brief meeting in the late 1980s. Marc lives in my memory as a young man of 23, sitting on the stairs in my student house, reciting Langston Hughes´ `Dream Deferred´. I hope that some of his dreams were realised.

Nearly a year later, I am learning about the passing of Professor Marc LaPadula.
Memories flash in rapid succession... a high-speed montage of lectures, visits, dinners, images, conversation bites, fleeting moments. Always, he was interested, curious, intent on understanding us, our stories, why telling a particular story mattered to us. And while he enjoyed mystery, he opened his home to his students, shared his dreams, spoke often of his love for Jami.
There's something surreal about trying to write a reflection on a cherished screenwriting professor. I imagine him critiquing the work from some other dimension.
Of course, that's just my way of holding on to a connection that has sadly slipped out of grasp.
I'm grateful to have held that lifeline for a little while.
Marc, I've stopped writing small stories. You might be proud. Either way I know you would be encouraging and kind because you always were.
Love to you and Jami.

Marc was possibly the most vibrant and inspirational instructors ever. I was shocked to hear of his passing. He seemed to be the epitome of good health and focused energy. My condolences to his family.

Marc was more than a screen writing teacher to many of us writers who were the "works in progress." By encouraging us to tell stories and offering his thoughts, he helped give perspective on our own lives. His passion for finding different ways to explore life´s truths in an entertaining manner was infectious. His light will be missed. My sincere condolences to his lovely wife, family and friends.

I was lucky enough to meet Marc at one of his screenwriting workshops at Hopkins. I liked him immediately. He was inspiring, encouraging and very funny. In recent years, I've tried to catch every webinar he hosted - and I'm so glad I did. I'm better for having known him. My heart goes out to Jami, and to all his family and friends.

Marc was a phenomenal human and professor, and the first person in my life to help me cultivate my passion for screenwriting. He was inspiringly courageous, honest, talented, and magnanimous. I was privileged to have him shepherd me through my first short and feature at Yale. Marc's creative wisdom was priceless. Eternal. In class, he never hesitated to tell us how proud he was, how disappointed he was, how excited he was, how content was. He was truly amazing and rare. I'm deeply saddened to hear of his passing and am wishing his family, friends, and his wife--the partner he spoke of with such complete adoration--deep comfort and healing during this time.

This is a terrible loss. Such an enthusiastic person about the art of film. I loved his classes. And loved his scripts. I still cant believe such a positive force is not here with us. My prayers and thoughts with the family.

I got to know Professor Lapadula in the summer of 2015, when I was attending his screenwriting seminar at Yale. That experience was transformative to me---Marc had the powerful charisma to ignite and inspire his students to see their uniqueness and to stretch and grow. He was the epitome of wit, wisdom, and love.
Marc had been a dear mentor and friend for the past seven years, and constantly the source of support and inspirations.
Marc loved tea, and it was so devastating to learn of his passing before I could deliver a box of this year's white tea to him from China.

Absolutely devastated to learn of the passing of my favorite Yale professor and screenwriting maestro extraordinaire. Every semester for three years I looked forward to your seminar more than anything - even the horror of early Thursday mornings, when I rolled in hungover from Toads´ penny shots and DKE late night. You used to give me such a hard time for that and we always had a laugh. I still remember that visceral energy we all felt in your class - the feeling of being ignited. I had never heard anyone speak about great movies, storytelling, script, tone, dialogue the way you did. You made the room crackle and buzz. Your class was never about mechanics, it was about the feeling that leapt off the page. The thing that matters most. Thank you for igniting that same passion in us.
For my senior thesis I wrote a script that aspired to be in the vein of Get Him to the Greek. Suffice to say, the panel of Yale professors who judged my thesis were not used to reading something so "unserious." Marc told me later that he defended my thesis tooth and nail to those highbrow intellectuals and insisted they give me an A. Who cares about the grade, but Marc, it meant so much to me that you took the kind of story I wanted to write seriously. That you took my voice seriously. You´re the person in my life who gave me the confidence to write. I'll never forget it. Rest easy, old friend.

Marc, I'm going to miss you very much. You've been a life-long friend, a wonderful force of nature, your voice and mind full of spark.
I'll never forget the chopper ride you somehow arranged over Center City in Philly, and the extremely sharp turn the pilot took right above Liberty Tower -- the giant spire was practically scraping our feet !
Our conversation over the decades has been fun and interesting, and it's not about to stop now because with so many memories of you my thoughts will keep coming back to the good times we had.
I will miss you like a brother.
My deepest condolences to Jami.

I remember the day Marc entered my office for evaluation of his painful knee. Behind schedule as usual, my nurse trying to hustle us through the morning, I entered the exam room. I left over an hour later. This man was so engaging, so excited about life, and film, in particular. His sphere of knowledge, so foreign to me, an orthopedic surgeon. I was fascinated.
A year and one half later, as I retired, he convinced me to write a script. I did, with his instruction. A wonderful experience, that probably was of no value to anyone but me. Marc recognized my need for purpose, and helped me find one. I´ll be forever grateful that I met, and spent time with Marc.
I don´t know what happened. While we have an advanced knowledge of bones and joints, and hearts, lungs, and many other body systems, the brain remains elusive. Understanding that which torments us, and seems to take us over at times, remains frustratingly unknown. Peace, now be with you, my friend. I´m so sorry Jami. If I can help you in any way, let me know. Dr. Rick Seagrave.

There are few people whose sheer force of positivity has the power to change the course of your river. Marc was one of those people. He convinced hundreds of us future writers it was possible. He was a giver's giver. A legend. A man I felt lucky to stay friends with as I reaped the rewards of his inspiration, and am so I glad I told him as much before he passed. You weren't one to rest, but rest well, Marc.

Marc Lapadula was a force to be reckoned with, and one that will be missed. I was privileged enough to be able to take the classes he taught at Yale, and his advice guided me through the scripts I drafted for the class. He then went on to become one of my mentors, writing recommendations for me for various programs I applied to. Every interaction with him was filled with jokes and wisdom, and because of that I always looked forward to his classes.

Starting those workshops with Marc at Hopkins some years ago was life-changing. Marc's knowledge and enthusiasm lit a fire in me (and Jamyla) that had burned out years before. That fire is still going. His encouragement was second to none. We always left our workshops buzzing. The sign of a truly great teacher.
Jami, I assure you that you are in our constant prayers.

I just recently finished taking the Screenwriting track under Marc, and in my two years of classes with him, his warm presence, passion for film, and love for his students always shined through. Marc saw potential in all of us, and worked hard to nurture it. He was endlessly supportive, and the time, advice, and instruction he gave me changed my life for the better. I am so sorry to hear of Marc's passing. He will be missed.
Sincerely,

Nothing, nothing, is more important, or has more profound implications on our neighborhoods and community, than who we choose as our teachers. Thanks, Marc. Your impact on me when I was a student was immeasurable, and I treasured our friendship when I got older. Peace.

Incredibly sad to find out about Marc's passing. Had the privilege of having him as a Senior Advisor way back when and we still kept in touch from time to time. He was always a lively and engaging instructor, who had to corral our class of Tarantino-wannabes (early 90s) into writing stories that should be less Tarantino-esque. Sharp and gregarious, he always wanted to know how I was doing and was a good hang at the dinner table. Greatly enjoyed catching up with him every couple of years. Yale and the world are poorer without him. My deepest condolences to Jami, his family, and all those who knew him. .

Jami, I am so sorry about Marc´s (untimely, I gather) passing. He was so concerned about you all these years, it must be so paradigm-shifting to lose him. Know that the Chesterbrook Woods friends and me and Shiela specifically are here for you. Marc left such an imprint on me, and my daughter Catherine, who was so boosted by his kids´ writing class at the McLean community center. I treasured our friendship and treasure our continued friendship.

For the last seven years I represented Marc on many of his lecture engagements. I have worked with hundreds of speakers over the years and Marc was absolutely the best speaker I ever worked with and absolutely the best person I ever worked with. Many of the groups I booked Marc into would invite him to return multiple times to give a different presentation to the same audience. I don't think I ever had a telephone conversation with Marc without coming away from it knowing how much he loved movies and how much he loved Jami. There is a huge hole in my company and a huge hole in my heart.

I remember the first time I stepped into my first lecture with Marc. I was 18 years old, my hair was long and shaggy like an Orange County surfer, thinking I was cooler than I actually was.
I've done a lot of growing up since then and Marc had so much to do with that, not only as a wirter, but as a person. I truly belive the film world lost an incredible unsung hero and should I ever have the paltform to sing about Marc, I certainly will as loud as possible. I am so blessed for the 12 years I had him in my life and I will continue to keep him in my heart until they day I get to see him again. Rest In Peace, Marc.
Sincerely,

Marc:
There are only so many people who hold our histories. For me, you were one of them.
You were my college professor, then my mentor, then my contemporary, then my business partner. And, throughout these last 25+ years you've always been my friend, my cheerleader, and my confidant.
I'm awed at how many people you have influenced. And grateful to have been an object orbiting in your universe. And devastated to lose you. And sanguine about time as a healer, yet...
So remorseful over the what could have been, while so thankful for the what was.
Jami. I'm thinking of you. And I'm here if you need me.
Love,
Scott

Dearest Jami and family on behalf of the entire MyHealthAngel Community we are so sad to hear of Marcs passing. We are sending you our heartfelt condolences, love and light during this most difficult time.
I sadly only knew Marc via Zoom... The pandemic connected our worlds together. South Florida to Springfield, Missouri. Marc lectured at many virtual events for "MyHealthAngel" starting in 2020. Marc was the one who would be so excited to jump on Zoom to chat 30 minutes before the actual start time. Marc showed up each time with a crisp button down shirt, a silk tie and a sharp vest as if he was on the Stage presenting at Yale. He had long flowy hair for a bit due to him avoiding any outside contact during the height of Covid, we loved it and always joked about it. He loved talking about his beautiful wife Jami, Yale and as I always loved to discuss "The Ozark´s" (although he lived 55 miles away) he always had a smile that jumped through the screen from ear to ear. Marc had a magnetic personality. He was brilliant, witty, funny and charismatic. Marc put so much love and effort into his work and it certainly showed! Marcs lectures featured different movie clips, and he had a way of capturing his audience by turning these clips into exciting thought provoking moments that resonated with everyone long after the lecture was over. Marc was such an attribute to our community, he was a SuperStar and will be greatly missed. Till we meet again...

On Saturday night, I attended an awards ceremony in Beverly Hills as a nominated writer for the first time. On Sunday, I heard that the man who inspired me, encouraged me, and was more than anyone else, the reason I am now a professional writer, was no longer with us. Marc, everything I am I owe to you. I tried to convey this the last time you were in LA and I hope you realized how serious I was. I will always think of that first time you told me I was a good writer, and continue to write from that moment and to live up to the potential you saw in me before anyone else. I hope where ever you are, they are screening Kubrick films.

Marc showed me and many others that our craft meant something, and pushed us to improve. He championed my work and saw past an attitude that could be dark and cynical. He never gave up on me. A bright light that blazes forever in my memory. He did more than anyone else I know to teach me that writing is a holy chore. Forever in my thoughts.
I bid him farewell with the words of another artist I hold in high esteem:

I am so sorry to hear about Marc's passing. He was truly an amazing person and as many have said was full of a magnetic charisma. When he told stories I always hung on every word. One story I always love to share is that he said it's far more interesting to be a mystery. If you run errands and your wife asks you where you've been, raise an eyebrow and say, "I don't know." I loved this and have shared it many times. He truly loved you, Jami. Sending you all my condolences and wishes of continued love, light, and strength.

Marc was much more than a mentor, he was friend, confident, and inspiration. He IS why I am now living in L.A. His last email was last week reminding me I was good enough to be here. What an amazing human being. Our usual on-line class just met telling our fondest stories about him and vowing to keep on writing. My greatest way to honor his memory is to sell a screenplay and in that regard I am working even harder to break into Hollywood's Inner Circle. I have made 10 short films, my next will have a dedication to Marc. Write, write, write...it's what we do. Luv ya, Bro!

Marc had the kind of outgoing, energetic, and likable personality that made people want to stick around and listen, the kind of personality that not only made him an exceptional teacher (and leader) but a magnetic talented storyteller who weaved his teachings into exciting anecdotes that resonated with his audience long after the story was over. He empowered us writers with confidence, was generous in spirit, compelled us to always be better. I met Marc in 2008 when I joined his screenwriting group. I knew instantly I was going to learn a lot. What I didn´t expect was how his teachings would permeate other aspects of my life in years that followed- the way I now craft my feature stories, the way I now view my relationship with others, like my aging parents, the way I now want to keep my promise to Marc & write again. He was a mentor and good friend; a beautiful human being, never forgotten. Jami, you were his light. My deepest sympathies to you and the family. "Those who have passed from this world die only when we, whom they loved, forget them."

So very sad to wake to this news and to a world without Marc Lapadula´s smile. I assumed his humor sometimes covered darker concerns. He didn´t have an easy time of it, but his students would not suspect this. They were right to be grateful for all he put into expanding their skills, their lives. He worked late as I sometimes did. That´s when we would speak...of Iowa City, of writers, of films we liked. We could disagree, though he was ever gracious and always brightened the space around him. It´s darker now.

Dear Jami,
My deepest condolences.
I have known Marc form my entire career at Yale. Throughout that time, Marc and I spent many moments discussing film, classes, and, food. Most of all, Marc talked about you, Jami, his love and appreciation for you. Marc taught so many people who now are working in the industry. He will leave an impression on generations. I am grateful for all that he has given to so many. I am grateful for our weekly chats. He was never too busy to stop by the office and say hello or offer a green tea.
There is a hole in our department and in our hearts.
Jami, I will keep you in my prayers.
May Marc rest In Peace.

I am so incredibly sorry to hear of Marc's passing.
Marc was many things... an amazing lecturer, a fount of knowledge regarding anything film, entertaining and funny, encouraging and supportive, a man of taste and refinement, and an even better friend. I can truly say Marc was one of the people who changed the course of my life. I will miss our talks, his great wit and wisdom, and his extremely good heart. Jami, please accept my deepest and most heartfelt condolences. God bless you in this most difficult time.
Rest in peace, my good friend.

Dear Jami and family:
I am deeply saddened to learn of Marc's passing. Marc and I went to grade school and high school together in Northern Virginia. After graduation from Bishop O'Connell H.S. in 1978 we went our separate ways, but bumped into each other a few times over the decades. Marc recently reminded me of a chance meeting at 30th Street Station when we were both collegians in Philly. We reconnected just a few months ago near Atlantic City. Marc was lecturing on film and the law, with an emphasis on the criminal character. I was so surprised to see him on the agenda. I enjoyed his thoughtful and engaging style and his amazing analysis of the films he chose.
We spoke for some time and then had several zoom calls in the weeks following. Marc was slated to return to NJ to lecture at a conference for all the state court judges. We were planning a mini-reunion and a dinner out afterwards. As another friend has remarked in these remembrances, Marc was able to reconnect and rekindle a friendship after many years of absence without missing a beat!
His passing is a terrible loss.
I will hold you and Marc close in prayer. I will burn a candle and offer a Mass for the happy repose of his gentle and loving soul.
Sincerely,
Bernie DeLury

Marc carried the heavy weight of many different responsibilities on his shoulders for so many years. He did it with such patience and grace, but now that unbearable weight has lifted. It is a very sad, indeed very tragic loss. He will be sorely, deeply missed by family, friends and his legion of students.
Richard Michael Lucas

To all of Marc´s family, I offer my deepest condolences.
Marc was the kind of teacher, professor, and human who would reconnect with you after long periods of time without missing a beat.
In late 2000, I got a gift from my girlfriend. It was for a screenwriting class at University of Pennsylvania (her alma matter) to begin in 2001. It was my first introduction to the "crazy cast of characters" attracted to screenwriting!
Marc had to be witty, engaging, and informative, but also herd our stories like a bunch of wild cats. He also had the added challenge of addressing the world of film post 9/11, which came up often in those days.
I had the pleasure of meeting two future successful pro screenwriters from that class...something that does not happen often due to the incredible odds of being a professional screenwriter in Hollywood.
But it was the "writing group" that Marc started, once the official season ended, which turned out to be the real learning experience. I spent about two years getting my very very raw screenplay pages critiqued in that group. It prepared me for the harsh reality of "trying" to break into the business. But Marc also taught me a lot about drama and craft.
Once I started shopping scripts in Los Angles, I was positively shocked to find out how many successful Hollywood producers, agents, and studio folks knew Marc! Many from Univ of Penn! It was a great lesson to learn that behind the rough gatekeeping of the industry, there were humans.
Wonderful humans like Marc. So devoted to Jami, his wife. So devoted to keeping in touch with his students from many schools and classes. So devoted to the craft of storytelling and "writing movies."
This is a shock.
But your story will live on.
Rest in peace, Marc.

Just finished watching Great Legal Dramas and the Stories Behind Them . . . with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face. It is no hyperbole to say that Marc changed the trajectory of my life. He was my screenwriting prof at Johns Hopkins and, as I used to tell him, I more or less stole his entire curriculum as I became and am still a screenwriting prof myself, decades later. But he was not only my most influential professor, out of many, but he became a dear friend and my life was immeasurably enriched by our friendship over the past twenty years.

Dear Jami,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. Yale students were so fortunate to have such a brilliant professor give so generously of himself for three decades. Marc will be greatly missed as a teacher, colleague, and friend.
