Jerry and Ruth Vurek

We want to thank Roger Evans of Moviestuff for his long-time support of our film preservation program, and our in-house film editor and preservation specialist, Adam Dziesinski, as well as Alvin Lai and Janine Gericke for their dedication and hard work.

We are planning to purchase another film scanner this year, and we still need the public’s financial support. So, please help with donations and letting your friends, family and colleagues know about our film preservation project.

With a special Thank You to The Jerry and Ruth Vurek Fund for their additional support of the foundation’s work.

National Film Preservation Foundation 2016 Grant

Special Thanks to The Center for Asian American Media – Stephen Gong, Executive Director, for providing the office space for our film preservation operations, and for their generous support of our work.

The Jerry and Ruth Fund has just made a generous donation to help us “save history one frame at a time.” We would very much like to thank Mr. Jerry Vurek for his amazing gift and continuing support of our work.

But the work continues, and we continue to need the support of those of you who care about preserving our legacy of life, culture, history and art, as expressed on motion picture film. Please give generously.
