I just acquired some extremely rare 9.5mm prints. These were actually the final things released on the gauge and some of them i have never seen advertised on the gauge...The trick is they were issued as sound on disc titles, and I have the films but not the discs, so i am hoping to find the audio an...

thanks steve and happy new year to you.

There is an xmas themed episode of the "twisted Tales" series that was released on 16mm but I cannot remember the title.

I was researching some early sound technology for someone at my new job at USC (there is some great silent stuff there on 16mm)and came across some interesting items in International Photographer Magazine. Here is one about an original straight to 16mm short featuring Jimmie Adams and Bud Jamison......

Here is the rundown for my Wildwood, NJ 9.5mm screening this Saturday, should be a fun one, but will be lacking the appropriate musical accompaniment. I will also be bringing a notched projector to run some notched shorts probably in someones room, since it won't throw very far with only a 50w lamp....
