Dear Frameworkers,
After 6 weeks of hard work and with a lot of help, I have managed to move Jon Behrens’ equipment, assets, found footage collection, and raw stock collection out of his apartment and into storage and our studio at the Interbay Cinema Society. Now begins the work of winnowing it down even further. I would like to start with the raw stock. I am against landfills and want to re-gift as much as I can. It has not been refrigerated, for the most part. There is a lot of it, both 16mm and 35mm, mostly in 400’ reels and daylight spools, with some larger reels that I will have to spool down if/when I can get to them. It is stock of all kinds, older and newer, black and white and color, some unopened cans, some re-cans. I probably have about a dozen wine-case-sized boxes of stock, if not more. What to do with it? Here is one idea: I would mail you a collection—as much as I could fit in—for the price of a large flat rate box (currently $23). USPS domestic mail only. You would have to remit the price of a flat rate box to ICS, and I would send it to you at your snail mail address. I would have to just fit in what I can. You could say “all 35mm,” “all 16mm” or “a mix of 35mm and 16mm.” That is all I would be able to handle in terms of choices. I don’t have time to inventory it and carefully pick through it. Is there interest out there in that kind of arrangement? Am I crazy? Do you have any other ideas for me about what to do with it? Please, if you don’t have your wishes for your estate after you die in writing, take the time to do that now, even if you think you are too young to have your affairs in order. You never know. Please contact me at [email protected]. Thank you for your help and advice.
