Nudged Update: We are still working on the score. Jason has composed and produced wonderful music and the time line is filling up. Never realized how much composing is needed to score a 96 minute movie. Soon is still the only date I can post for the cast & crew showing and then the premiere.
As an aside. The photos above are of a Topcor 58mm f1.4 lens from my Father’s Beseler Topcon Super-D 35mm still camera. That camera was my Dad’s joy and a truly fine instrument. We still have it but 35mm film is just not a viable option these days. The camera sits unused. That lens however is a miracle of optics and after more than 50 years is still usable on my Sony digital motion picture camera.
Awhile back I fitted a brand-new Zeiss 28mm f2.0 lens to the Sony via an adapter and then recently discovered a similar adapter was available for the ancient Topcor lens. So, this will be an experiment to see how well it works. Since it’s a native 58mm lens and my Super 35mmm chip is smaller than 35mm film in still format, the Topcor lens will function as a medium telephoto of approximately 87mm. It will be great for close-ups. And the f1.4 aperture means it will record practically in the dark.
That is so cool about your dad’s lens! For the cast showing and the premiere the more lead time the better. I will be at Marv’s in March for his art sale. Date TBA. Bruce
