First may I say my utmost condolences to Mr. Sitton for his terrible loss. It was big news story in New York where I am, but I could've done without such a story.
May I ask you about some Super 8 footage I have contracted with a major stock house to distribute? I submitted about 5 hours of Super 8 film from the early 1970s. There are some historic materials on the film, such as the WTC under construction, footage of a stage the Beatles played off 1964, including many other ancients such as the Doors, Momas & Popas, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Lil' Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, and just about any other ancient you can think of.
The films also include footage of a younger Jim Bouton, and the first footage ever of another fellow very famous in professional sports, probably the biggest name in pro sports today.
One aspect is luckily I had all the footage on DigiBeta, which I think is the cadillac of telecine as far as Super 8 goes. There is little to no DigiBeta on Youtube as far as I can see.
My question to you is, what can I expect from the contract? Is there a big demand, or any demand for Super 8 reels from the early 1970s today? I will upload my youtube for your critique in the very near future. It features some of the Super 8s, however not in DigiBeta.
Many thanks for your help.
