Last month, filmmaker Todd Bieber charmed, well, everyone by posting a video detailing a mysterious canister of film he found in Prospect Park after the December 27 blizzard and his quest to find the film's rightful owner. He developed the film, finding some lovely photographs of snowy Brooklyn and some subjects who had a "Europe look to them," and asked that people email him at [email protected] if they lost the film. Well, Todd has a new video reporting back about what's happened since his video has caught national attention:
He's had plenty of suggestions about where the photographers could be from (and why)—and also rediscovered a clue about who the owner of the film might be. But while the owner is still out there somewhere, Todd has appreciated the kind messages people have sent him.
