I am the owner of Pro8mm in Burbank, CA and have been working with super 8 film since 1980. I am completely passionate about the use of real film for both production and archiving. I am grateful for the clients, both in and out of the entertainment industry that I have worked with to help bring their film projects to fruition.

I am a speaker, podcaster , educator, and author of "GET REEL ABOUT YOUR HOME MOVIE LEGACY BEFORE IT's TOO LATE" focusing on super 8 production and archiving.

I love to travel and document my adventures on Super 8 film.
It's very fulfilling to run a family owned business, and have our kids working to continue the legacy of the professional use of Super 8 filmmaking, and continuing to provide the game changing products and services Pro8mm( formerly Super8 Sound) has contributed to the sustainability of the format.

Max 8 and Crystal Sync:

The Max1014xls camera includes Max 8: a widescreen Super 8 film format with increased resolution idea for shooting in a widescreen HD. This process involves widening the film gate to allow maximum use of the film’s negative space, collimation of the lens and optics to center the image, and the addition of 16x9 frame lines in the eyepiece to aid in framing for the HD aspect ratio. Max 8 footage must be transferred on a Max 8 equipped scanner for the full quality.

A crystal-controlled circuit is also built in to keep the film running at exactly 24 fps for sync sound with a separate recorder. This is great for situations where sound and picture must remain in perfect sync, such as music videos or scenes with dialog.
