Zivilars, I don't have much of a web presence besides a neglected facebook page and an old tumblr site. I'm not very website savy. I used to do public screenings of "Incredibly Strange Movie Night" (ISMN) weekly locally. This past year it moved to a double feature once a month for college students and now nothing due to covid. Who knows what the future will hold! Wish I could join these guys, I have a warehouse of film that needs to be used!

I've noticed that on free over-the-air tv there are a lot of unused channels. Like, channel 4 will show their main shows on 4-1, maybe some reruns on 4-2, 4-3, then a number of unused channels. Maybe we can get one? Theres a lot of great public domain shows out there, and we need a home for BC's Lost Video Archives!
