This is a short film I restored (filmed on Super 8) and is estimated to have been made about 1972. It is a great example of the drill team show at the Castle Heights Military Academy that could be seen regularly in Lebanon, Tennessee.

I've gotten to know many of the Heights Alumni and during the restoration work an idea of a short poem came to mind. I took a little extra 'artistic license' with the editing. Don't foreget to turn the sound on. Hope the Cadets approve.

Do you have old films needing to be digitally transfered and/or restored? Let us know- we can help!

Technology has really changed our lives over the last 60 years. This is a film we restored of Commerce Union Bank from the late 1950s. It gives an interesting glimps of the Lebanon town square from E. Main St. There are a number of interesting shots of customers visiting the bank and of the many jobs the bank employees had to do manually. Maybe you'll spot someone you know!

I've been going through my grandfather's old movies and have found some really cool stuff. He was in the Guard and made these films that I have restored before they were lost forever. There are some interesting vintage aircraft.
