Re: Nitrateville Answer Dept:The Van Bibber Short Films

Sorry to derail your Van Bibber thread, but greatly look forward to you correcting my "Cameraman " bullshit if you have the time to waste. Kind Regards, Richard Warner It's not your bullshit, it was fine, it was the lhl12 nameless one. That old Films Inc print wasn't a blowup of a 9.5mm p...
