It saddens me to announce that Terry Bange, projectionist and longtime film collector passed away on December 27, 2020. Terry, who lived in Ohio, also worked at TV stations and film laboratories during his long career. Terry and his business partner David Baker started the Ohio Film Collector Exchange in 2017. They built a portable 35mm projection system that they graciously transported from Ohio to Wildwood, New Jersey for the 17th CineSea Film Collectors Gathering in April of 2018. Making that first 35mm screening even more memorable, Terry and David brought a stunning polarized 3D print of House of Wax.

It was a great pleasure meeting Terry at CineSea. He was a delightful person, with a vast knowledge of film and projectors. He told wonderful stories about his many jobs in the industry. Luckily, filmmaker Peter Flynn did an interview with Terry that weekend so some of those stories are preserved.
The film collecting community has lost a valued friend.
