Film techniques of the 1920s

[pscotto at MTHOLYOKE.EDU]

Tony,

There's some guys who produce movies of Lovecraft Stories who do 
exactly this. They made what I think is a brilliant "Call of Cthulu" 
using period technique and they came to good old MHC to shoot a second 
film. We're supposed to be "Miscatonic University." It's not exactly 
Russian/German, but these guys know what they are doing...

The good thing is they are enthusiasts (not commercial guys) so they 
might be willing to talk to your student.
