Back Stage, September 7th – 3 Tips From Casting Director Sarah Finn, by Daniel Lehman.

Hollywood Reporter, September 12th – Earliest Color Moving Pictures Unearthed in U.K., by Stuart Kemp.

The world’s earliest color moving pictures are being claimed to have been unearthed and brought to life digitally and will be put on display by the National Media Museum in Bradford, England. The films were made by photographer and inventor Edward Turner using a process he patented with his financial backer Frederick Lee in 1899. Experts at the museum have dated the films to 1901/2. Turner developed the process sufficiently to take various test films of colourful subjects such as a macaw, a goldfish in a bowl against a brightly striped background and his children playing with sunflowers, before his death in 1903 aged just 29.
