Third Clip

Update #5 · Feb 3, 2012 · 1 comment

Today is the last day of the fundraiser!

$44,786 has been pledged so far and in the coming months it will help us to make this, in every way, the best release of 'Manos' possible. On this important day, it's my pleasure to share the third HD clip that brings our test run to a close.

Very soon the entire movie will be scanned along with this material, and we can finally begin the intense work of image restoration. Our goal, as always, is to bring the film as close as possible to the state it was in straight out of the camera.

Thank you,

-Ben

    'MASTER' status in the credits. A very special role in a very special movie, well deserving of a spot in the 'Master's Reel', where your image will be digitally inserted into a scene. This will appear as an easter egg on the DVD / Blu Ray and on Youtube and NOT in the film itself. You must have the ability to send a photograph or video of yourself if you are not located near Los Angeles, CA. In addition to the above, the first person to claim MASTER status will receive a genuine piece of the crumbled original 'Manos' set (donated very generously by Tony Trombo). Place it on the shelf next to your chunk of the Berlin Wall.

    Estimated delivery: Jul 2012
