I don't know why I came up as anonymous...Mark,<br /><br />I don't know why I came up as anonymous on my last comment. My name is Doug and I met you a few years ago at the Leo Bing theater when you gave a lecture on Will Hindle's astonishing poetic 16mm films and detailed your great preservation of them. I also met you at Echo Park Film Center and we had a great talk about Scott Bartlett, my abstract 16mm movie "palms", and photo-chemical motion pictures. I wanted to get back in touch with you. after 3 years of struggling I finally finished my movie last year and I would like to show it to you. I also really want to see your 16mm work "The Wofobs" and your home movie of your cousin's wedding. Please feel free to email me at dgtolstoy@yahoo.com unfortunately i've been stuck out here in Vegas for the last 3 years and I can't wait to get back to LA. I feel like Stan Brakhage back in the 1950s, broke and unappreciated. it would be great to correspond with a real cinema lover and filmmaker such as yourself.Douglas Graveshttp://www.purecinema-celluloid.webs.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9080790392370181107.post-79663078564322863122010-05-25T13:48:25.033-07:002010-05-25T13:48:25.033-07:00Mark,

I saw a bunch of her 16mm films beautifully projected at Redcat a few years ago. A lot of teh films were visually striking and cinematically exciting. She was also there to celebrate her birthday and she was great. Very youthful with a great sense of humor and she said she was working on a few more 16mm films on her flatbed editing machine at her home. All of which made me even more sad and surprised to hear that she died so soon afterwards. She is a great visual filmmaker and your preservation efforts would have made her proud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
