In this episode, Marisa interviews the owners of JM Film Resins, Michelle Sloey and Jesse Brunt. Both hailing from Rochester, NY, the couple met on set and continue to work in the film industry in LA. They call themselves film romantics, and create art out of preserved film prints using resin. From treating footage like "Star Wars" and "James Bond" to an old Charlie Chaplin film, Michelle and Jesse hope to make film more accessible, and to recapture those emotional memories found in movie magic. Grab your popcorn and listen to this month’s episode full of film history and motion picture fun!
