Fan Mail

Hey Tim, my name is West. Love the Podcast. You and George are often singing the praises of Warner Bros Imaging who do the restoration work. How about bringing some of those folks onto the podcast? I’d love to hear more about film restoration as a niche industry — and in particular I’d love to know how those folks got into it! What was their career path? Just an idea 🙂 Keep being awesome.
