Wow, that is early! Many interesting things about it...

"4EB"- Still the full student film title.

"108 minutes of the future" - they already had the running time set in stone?! Little did they know that it would ultimately be cut down to 81 minutes by stupid Warner executives.

"bart patton - a COPPOLA COMPANY" - I know who Bart Patton is (he was a director and friend of Coppola at UCLA and he helped produce Rain People) but was this the first name American Zoetrope went under or something else? Never heard the name before. EDIT: Bart Patton did apparently do some voice work for THX 1138.

"Warner Bros. - Seven Arts" - means the ad is from '69 at the latest, as that was the year it was acquired by Kinney.

Oh, hi btw. Sorry for my absence again, work and private life is killing me at the moment. :(

How's the THX 1138 preservation coming along?

That's a quite demonstrative picture of where the project is at. ;)
