Hi Charles,

I used some of my blood to tint a passage at the end of my film
Other Reckless Things in the '80s. The lab, then W.A. Palmer Films
in San Francisco, was instructed not to clean it by hand but to do so
ultrasonically instead to preserve the "hand-applied color" which it
did.
The original film was color reversal from which an internegative was
struck. Then release prints were made from the interneg with no
problems that I recall.

You can see the results yourself at the San Francisco Art Institute
Film Salon that will be present this film on March 31 at 7 PM.

Cheers,
Janis Crystal Lipzin
