Last month, Allman urged Midnight Rider director Randall Miller to shut down production on the film following a February 20 on-set accident that resulted in the death of assistant camera operator Sarah Jones and injured a few others.

In a letter to Miller, Allman said, "I am writing to you as one human being to another, and appealing to you from my heart. I am asking you from a personal perspective not to go forward," adding, "Your desires as a filmmaker should not outweigh your obligations as a human being. I am asking you to do the right thing and to set aside your attempts to resume the production out of respect for Sarah, her family and the loss that all of us feel so deeply."
