I want to say right now straight off the bat, I am making this thread on behalf of an acquaintance of mine over on another private forum who’s, unfortunately, hasn’t seen any fresh funding for his project since it got started a few months back, which is a shame since I am sure there are quite a number of Spielberg fans out there who’d love to see this to the end.

We currently have in our possession a 1980 Special Edition print of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It is in good condition, with minimal fading for a print this age: holding it up to the light you can still see some blues and greens.

To scan this print we would need to raise $675. (In case you are wondering where these numbers come from, Q-branch normally charges $20 per minute of film, but he gives us a 75% discount. $5 per minute x 135 minutes of film = $675)

Currently, the endeavor has only reached $110 out of the $675 needed for completion. If you want to donate, please reply down below and I will reach out via private conversation right away and see if we can get things squared away between you and the project maker!

Thank you all in advance!
