We are preparing to produce this feature film, in a unique-looking black and white, 1.66:1 wide-screen 16mm with this camera. We have recently acquired an optical printer that was built for Lucas that may be useful for completing the project in 35mm.

The results of some camera tests suggest that the work may look something like this or this.

More info will posted as things develop.
