Description

My channel is dedicated to bringing back to life the obscure, informational, lost, and forgotten films of our past. As a lifelong collector of 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm film, I feel it is essential that I make my collection available for all to see and enjoy. Every film you see on my channel has come from my own personal collection. I only post films that are in public domain, and I own the actual prints. I never reuse any others content. Each film is professionally scanned, from there I restore them myself.
Film is art, film is history, film is image memories of life. But unfortunately, film doesn't last forever. As time takes its toll, the film stock deteriorates, or the images fade away to nothing. Through chemical treatments, restoration techniques, and proper storage, we can extend its life for many years but not indefinitely. The goal is to save the content digitally before is lost forever. Along with films, I will be adding my own tutorials on proper film preservation techniques.
