Re: It's Here!

What's the big deal, it looks great.

AI restoration software has been around for quite awhile, and when used correctly, it works very well indeed. We utilized it on the new Charley Chase 27 set and it's astounding the quality we got out of it.

Re: Mafia Webinar: Collecting Classic Comedy Films pt 3

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.
