I called the clerk at the Culpepper, Virginia National Audio Visual Preservation Center and he told me they only handle NBC's entertainment films...He told me the Wiegman and Darnell films were News so they would be stored at the Bergen, New Jersey NBC warehouse...
Schnapf already did the foot work on this and they told him the films weren't there...However I suspect whoever looked for the films went to the storage shelf for those films, didn't see them, and simply told Schnapf or Luna that they didn't have the films...
Oliver Stone's technical producer Rob Wilson told me the current digital files of the Wiegman and Darnell Films in NBC's possession were scanned off the original films when they made the digital files...What that means is someone at NBC handled the original films when they made those digital files...Those people are probably on record and probably could be contacted to ask them about the location of those original films...Those employees would have much more direct knowledge of the films since they were the last to handle them...Even though this is the best information in obtaining the films, because it originates from me the banning/ignoring savages are making sure that it gets ignored and no action is taken on it...Rob Wilson has the clout through Stone to probably get some action out of NBC in approaching them for the names of the digital file-makers...It is gross malfeasance and incompetence to NOT do so...
