We wouldn't normally run this as a separate story, but such has been the outpouring of emotion following Mark Toia's untimely death, we thought his funeral details should be as widely publicised as possible.

As you are no doubt aware, Mark Toia, Australian filmmaker, director, and photographer, founder of Zoom Film and Television, and all-round industry legend, sadly died earlier this week.

His daughter Brooke has just announced details of his funeral service on a dedicated Facebook event page, simply titled Mark Toia's Funeral.

It will be held on Friday, 3 November, at 01.00 UTC at The Sleeman Centre in the Brisbane suburb of Chandler. A livestream link will be provided closer to the event.

Brroke's full message is below.
