Book Synopsis
Presents a candid exploration of one of America's strangest and most quickly vanishing subcultures. It is about the death of physical film in the digital era and about a paranoid, secretive, eccentric, and sometimes obsessive group of film-mad collectors who made movies and their projection a private religion in the time before DVDs and Blu-rays.

Trade Review
"This entertaining chronicle from filmmaker Bartok and film archivist Joseph highlights a clandestine, largely bygone world of film print collectors..."
Publishers Weekly

"Bartok and Joseph have certainly done their part to preserve some strange and often overlooked imagery. A collection of singular encounters with a film subculture...many offering unique insight into the darker fringes of a bygone Hollywood."
