| | Written by: Dave Strohmaier. January 2002 | March 2002 | The documentary is in Director's cut and is 100 minutes long. A lot has changed since the early versions. We have shown it around Los Angeles at several "test screenings" and also at professional documentary film maker private screenings to get some needed feedback. It's all on history now with nothing on Bradford, Ohio or Seattle. Everyone told us to keep it focused on the history of the process and how it changed the movies forever. As it stands now there is very little "Fat" in the film, it moves pretty fast and is very detailed on all the history and original Cinerama Pioneers.
It has been strongly suggested by many professional documentary producers that all that material we gathered on Bradford, Ohio, and Seattle is valuable for "added value" and be put together in a "supplemental section" or special features section for the DVD. We have put a title at the end that says "Due to the efforts of preservationists Cinerama can be seen on special occasions in Bradford England, Seattle Washington, and Hollywood, California." So far we have gotten wonderful response with this 100 minute version, most people even said they had an emotional experience watching it.
At this point we still need finishing funds for Music rights and video on line, color correction and some special effects, but the film is at least creatively finished now.
