Still from 35 mm Nitrate casting film of Nita

Nita project: There was a 35mm Nitrate casting film reel in the archive that I had digitised. When I first viewed it I couldn’t believe how brutal it was. I think it was only meant for the eyes of Hollywood directors and producers, which makes it all the more revealing. Here’s a still from it, circa 1933.

Nita

I am currently working on ‘Nita’, a project from the archive that belonged to my Great Aunt, Nita who was signed to Paramount Pictures in 1933.
