Dear EPFC friends, family & cinephiles, It is with a heavy heart that I write to notify you all that we are losing our warehouse space in Glendale. What has been commonly known as the "EPFC ANNEX" will need to be vacated by June 15th. This presents a bit of a crisis for our organization.  We have spent the past 14 months building out the space to create a "living and breathing" film workshop, lab and studio. We have accumulated a 2,000 title Super 8 and 16mm print library. We have animation stands, 16mm editing flatbeds, 35mm projectors, cinema chairs, props, sets, lights, and other assorted film paraphernalia. It has become our second home. In the next few weeks we will ask for volunteers to help us catalog and move the bulk of the important and critical items to another location. However, this is where we need your help. We have nowhere to move the stuff to and would hate to simply rent a storage unit where the community would have no access to the gear and equipment. Thus, we are looking for an alternative space.  Do you know anyone with 1000 - 2000 square feet of space that would welcome this film archive and workshop? Possible future homes could be another warehouse, a community center, university archive, non-profit group, church basement, etc... PLEASE feel free to DISTRIBUTE this email far and wide. We need to act and we need to act rather quickly.  Much love to you all, Paolo & the EPFC Family.
