We may just be in luck

We recently discovered a few -- hopefully positive -- resources for purchasing color Super 8 film. We ordered a reel to run a test and we'll let you know how it goes. Ohhh we have a good feeling about this!!

the 2014 event will be different than year's past

For the past seven years the OTS8 event has held the 'call for filmmakers' in Dec/Jan and hosted the live screening in April. Well, this year we've decided to change things up! Wouldn't it be great to shoot your films in the summer months as opposed to always in the winter? We thought so too. Stay tuned for our 2014 schedule which will be posted soon...or soon-ish. First we are looking for color film before we announce details, and this could take a while. So cross your fingers!

Thanks y'all.

Could this be reel?

In December 2013, Kodak announced that they will no longer be producing the Ektachrome 100D color Super 8 film. And the other color films that they have in stock won't work for this event. So what are we going to do??? Well, this certainly encourages us to be creative and do some research. Should we host an all black-and-white film event? Or will we get lucky and find color film somewhere out there, that's affordable and trustworthy? Only time will tell. We'll keep you posted!
