Umit is well and truly alive and kicking, I was in conversation with
him just before Christmas, a really enthusiastic chap about film,
just ask him about some of the people that wish to hire his projectors!

Wonderful to see the video clip and the young audience.
Carry on projecting!

I confirm he is still in business: I was in his shop on Saturday February 23rd.

(Long live!!!)

Thank you for the link to the article. A joy to read.

I laughed when I saw the third photograph from the top. The artwork for the Stranger in Sacramento video (seen to the right in the photo) was lifted from promotional art for the 1953 3-D classic Gun Fury!
