About Me

After collecting stamps, coins, fossils, comics, records and CPR dummies as a little kid, I finally decided to collect 16mm school films as an adult. I guess that's okay...So now I live an old boarding house with 8 bedrooms and over 20,000 films. I tour the country showing the films at night clubs, galleries and an museums. I've released some of the films on DVDs which you can purchase here .I've also made some of the films available for free download at the Internet Archive .
