2022-01-23 10:59:43   In 1979, I shot and edited a 16mm film on Ramon painting in his Park Ave studio, while at RIT film school. A RIT psychology professor (?) interviewed Ramon, and I took that recorded (analogue tape) dialogue and placed it over the images of Ramon painting an image, while I was in his studio. Oddly enough the day that I started shooting the images on a 16 mm BOLEX camera, a Rochester native, actor Robert Forrester was there overseeing my activity. I transferred the edited/spliced 16mm to “one” VHS tape and laid the edited dialogue and harpsichord music on top. I called the documentary film “A TIME TO DREAM” and unfortunately the master 16mm film was destroyed in a fire in 1981. I OFTEN wonder what happened to that film, and if the psychology teacher estate, or RIT still has it. I do not remember his name either. (His name almost came back to me (last name started with “S”), and he gave $500 to do the task)
That is, if the VHS tape survived, if in salvageable shape, I wonder if it could now be digitized.

I used classical harpsichord music as background with Ramon’s dialogue as a voice over. It was pretty good. I received an A+ grade
