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?

Sounds perfect—I'll lock the timing down to the millisecond and draft snappy captions that highlight each frame’s significance. The laser marquee will be calibrated to sync exactly with the score’s crescendo. Let’s roll this out and let history light up the night.
