Definitely worth a listen. You brought back a lot of memories from the seventies and eighties, when I first started buying 8mm. And the names! Enrique J. Bouchard, Bill Bissonette. After fifty years, I'm still having fun buying and learning.

Am I the only one that the link isn't working for?..... (probably!)...

Does anyone know who Cinema8 duped from?

[Richard M Roberts]

Cinema8 wasn't duping from anyone, they were another one like Reel Images that was basically distributing other companies product. They distributed films from Griggs-Moviedrome, Glenn Photo Supply, others, but they would put the prints in their own Cinema8 boxes before shipping them to the customer. I have a Griggs print of THE LAST LAUGH in a Cinems8 box.

The link works here, and it doesn't seem to be an overseas thing as we've had viewers of it from far-flung places such as Turkey and North Macedonia (who the hell is watching it in North Macedonia? Where the hell is North Macedonia, just above South Macedonia I guess). Give it another shot Dave, other in Britain have been watching it.

It seems my Google browser doesn't want to play with the Box link.
I've copied the link into an alternate browser (Microsoft Edge) and it works fine. Hoorah!
Viewing has begun...

Thanks for making these.
They bring back a lot of memories.
(By the way, isn't this the fourth one? 21st March 21; 5th July 21; 1st May 23... not that I'm a groupie or anything like that...)

Oh don't worry about which part it is, just watch the damn thing!

It's the third one with just Hooman, Glenn, and myself talking about film collecting. If there was another guest, that's a different webinar.
