A very good friend of 651media, Brandon Schantz, died last December after a second battle with cancer.  In the weeks before his death, he made an appearance on MTV’s “The Real World: Hollywood.”  He died before the entire episode was filmed, but his affect on the castmembers—people he had only known for a short time—was evident.  You can watch portions of the episode, #13, by clicking here.

His name, and dream, are being carried on by a good group of friends and former co-workers with Brandon Schantz Productions, and you can join the newly-formed Brandon Schantz Foundation MySpace page, where memorabilia will be auctioned off and proceeds given to fund lymphoma research.

You can get a better idea of who Brandon was and what he meant to people on his MySpace page or on BSP’s MySpace page.
