This might be a silly question but is there a 3200' reel for 16mm? If so, how hard is it to find a projector that takes them?
I'd love to have a full feature with a show reel condensed on two reels.

I've never seen or heard of one. When I did mobile 16mm cinema my long-play equipment used 6000' spools. These were enough for a double-feature.

I don't think any portable 16mm projector took reels above 2000 ft (2200 ft reels are the same size i.e. 15 inches diameter). Semi-permananent installations such as Fumeo are another matter.

The Elmo XP-750 table top projector could handle them, as could the Elmo and Eiki pedestal projectors.
