Hi all. Ironically we were in the midst of posting the latest issue of VITAPHONE NEWS, updated FAQ's, and a list of restrorable shorts, when I read this. Should all be up by this weekend at www.vitaphoneproject.com
But here is a list of Vitaphone shorts that are restorable, taha is disk and film both exist. Funding goes directly to UCLA at $4500 for a one reel short and id fully deductible.
