It's a shame there's not other options... similar to No.w.here in the UK or
the coop labs in France. Seems like re-purposing an
individual like Josh with the years of accumulated knowledge could continue
to benefit filmmakers in this new context.

Are there folks anywhere in North America that are developing a coop lab? I
had heard that Cineworks in BC was setting up
a film-specific facility, but don't know if this included a lab or any
kind.
