I just finished restoring the original score for Citizen Kane and I’m thinking of a big viewing night—could we team up and make the premiere unforgettable?

Here’s the blueprint: First, open with a short, hand‑crafted montage of the film’s original silent prints—no algorithmic edits, just the raw footage cut to the score I restored. Then a surprise live jazz trio that re‑imagines the score in a way that only a true archivist can justify. Timing is critical; the live set will end exactly when the first big dramatic moment hits so the audience feels the build. Next, a silent‑screen photo‑exhibit of lost footage I found in the archives—each slide with a quick annotation that ties back to the dialogue. Finally, at the climax we’ll project the film on a giant curved screen while the lights dim and a laser light show replicates the original theatrical marquee. That way we have fireworks, but everything is historically faithful. What do you think?
