Lost Silent Film Kickstarter: An Aleutian Adventure - Blu-ray Forum

Leviathan · 12-14-2023, 03:32 AM

Hi,

With the approval of the board administrator, My friend Jerico Dvorak and I are restoring a rare lost silent film, from the only known extant master positive (discovered by Jerico and now currently held at the Library of Congress). It's a film to give a very captivating look at the Alaskan sea and fishing in the early 20th century.

We plan on giving the film a full 2K restoration, with cleanup, stabilization, and damage repair, along with a new score from noted composer David Drazin. The final film will be on both Blu-Ray and DVD.

We have launched a Kickstarter page for our restoration project. Any contributions you can make towards this will be greatly appreciated.

This looks interesting. I’m now the third backer. I hope more people get on board for this one.

You should post about this at Nitrateville. They have a specific section for crowdfunding projects.

Thanks.

We're working on getting Nitrateville accounts, but we haven't heard back from the administrators yet.

Someone found out about us and did a Nitrateville thread. Whoever did that, thanks so much. Jerico and I are eternally grateful.

The support so far is encouraging. If we are successful, we have further big plans for other silent and sound film restoration projects.

We're already at 15%. Thank you for all of your contributions.

We just cracked 20%. Thanks for all of your help everyone.

We are starting to look at stretch goals. We think they will be of interest to classic film and cartoon fans.

We are officially at 33%. Progress is going very well for a first-time project from a first-time company.

Thank you for all your contributions. Any help you can offer in getting the word out to others will be greatly appreciated.

We are officially at over 50%. Thank you everyone for your contributions for your set.

We are looking at possible stretch goals for the disc. The more we exceed our amount, the more we'd be able to do.

Please keep contributions coming, as this will allow us to do much more.
