Tracey Goessel, biographer of Douglas Fairbanks, founded this Los Angeles nonprofit in 2014 to find and restore American silent films. Its restorations are sold on Blu-ray through its own shop, among them Too Many Kisses (made with Paramount and the Library of Congress) and a Clara Bow double feature. A long-running project aims to restore all 460-plus Biograph shorts D. W. Griffith directed between 1908 and 1913.
