Third World Newsreel

I mainly helped Third World Newsreel (TWN) in two separate projects. First, I assisted in writing an NFPF Grant for the film-to-film preservation of the TWN feature documentary Mississippi Triangle, of which the A&B rolls had been recently located. I researched the film, conducting interviews about its production and gathering available bibliography, and I produced initial drafts for most sections of the proposal.

On the other hand, I also assisted in the initial steps of a project to produce 2K digital transfers of 54 films from the Newsreel Collection. I located all existing prints of the titles in the TWN Archive's different storage locations and inspected 12 of them.
