FOUND EMULSION Film Restoration/Rescue Documentary

FOUND EMULSION tells the story of film rescuers.   The dedicated film historians, and collectors, who either work with the studios, or on their own, often using their own funds to restore long lost films before they totally decay or vanish.

In 2016, I produced and directed LOST EMULSION, a 80 minute documentary on lost films.  Most documentaries/articles about film restoration focus on the silent and early sound era.  FOUND EMULSION will spotlight those endangered and restored films from later eras. 
CLEOPATRA with Theda Bara, a long lost film from 1917, is featured in LOST EMULSION.

FOUND EMULSION will tell of:
THE RESTORATION OF VINTAGE TV-  Many Television Production Companies destroyed or erased previously aired content.     We will talk about how a considerable portion of Dr. Who episodes are lost
THOSE B-MOVIES- The restoration of movies made by "poverty row" studios, and those drive-in horror, rock-and-roll, teen angst films that almost vanished forever. 
EDUCATIONAL "CLASSROOM MOVIES" Those 16mm films we saw in school on good dental health, proper dating, school-bus etiquette and other subjects were often rescued out of dumpsters.
STAG FILMS- These "girlie-show" short films were filmed on the run, literally!   Film-makers and models ducked the cops when they cranked out these secretive movies that were sold in mysterious envelopes.   A hidden history hush-hush things were like way back when.

..and everything else

HOW THE MONEY WILL BE USED

I intend FOUND EMULSION to be a feature film, with a larger budget.     This $4,900 will be used to create the first parts of the film.   With monies from this campaign, I will film the first interviews- with local film restorers and collectors.  I will also use the funds to upgrade our equipment  from 1080p to 4K cameras and editing equipment.    We will purchase more microphones and data backup equipment.

It may say "safety film" but many film prints and negatives have faded and left for the trash bin.
THE TERROR  The first horror "talkie", featuring the very first horror movie scream- is missing
