Cool, do let me know. Pledging even a small amount will help me get towards the goal. I’m not really sure when scanning will happen for this just yet, but I’m keen to get moving with it once I have at least covered about 3/4 or so of the initial costs involved (excluding the purchase of the print itself). I have $100 pledged so far from one person very passionate about the film.

Total costing is not yet worked out. This is new to me, I have not been personally involved in the other 35mm preservations, though I am in touch with some people who are. So I can only go off very rough cost estimates at the moment, and I’m thinking that with postage scanning will cost around $900 (excluding the cost of hard drives which will be extra). Of course that’s being optimistic. The print is dirty it’s been stored for ages, it’ll need to be cleaned, and it has sprocket damage as you can see in photo 2 that may require more careful handing (eg running it slower through scanning or something).
