I currently make and screen work in Double 8 and Regular 8 and have  given 
workshops in the format through LIFT (Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of 
Toronto), The8fest and Images Festival (in person and online). Send me email 
and we’ll see how I can help the student.

These here are great titles/ideas/resources. During the early pandemic I 
received a Canada Council for the Arts grant to create an optical printer with 
a Bolex H8 camera and both a Regular 8 and 16mm projector (could not have been 
made without knowledge, help and hardware/software from Matt McWilliams). It is 
working and is a tool to be explored.
