Now listen here you young whipper-snapper, I was making films on Super8 when the
amateur videomakers from the 1980s and 1990s were still wearing short pants. I'm not
"too old to bother" yet. I am currently trying to get all of my old films back (they are at my
ex's house and while she says I can have them there's the logistics involved; I live in
Mexico and she's in Rhode Island. I'm working on it, and when I get them digitized I'll
upload them.
