Of Snyder's work, the author of Expanded Cinema, Gene Youngblood wrote, "Such perceptive insights (Snyder's films) are going to be most valuable in the global communications network of the worldwide educational industry that is quickly evolving. It is essential that we have such films (and video tapes) for our storage and retrieval archives... your work is important to humanity for reasons which transcend the medium..."  Documentary (Features) 1950: THE TITAN -- STORY OF MICHELANGELO - Producer  Nominated for Documentary (Features) 1958: THE HIDDEN WORLD - Producer 2 nominations, 1 Award
