One of the most impossible to find student short films out there has finally appeared! I never thought I’d be able to see this one but this goes to show that anything is possible on the internet and that you never know what could surface tomorrow 🙂 Huge thanks to dedat32 @CG for this incredible find, according to OP this was digitized from a 3/4 u-matic tape, the original file had a sort of greenish tint on 3/4 of the screen as well as a lot noise on the audio and a bunch of interlacing so I did a new encode based on this file to remove most of the interlacing, greyscaled it and applied a light denoise on the audio (it was super noisy) for a better viewing experience. A very ambicious and enjoyable little film. Enjoy!
Holy shit-this is an unbelievable find. I never thought I would see the whole thing. An insanely ambitious student film, and little wonder why it’s in the National Film Registry now.
Amazing find thanks for unearthing these amazing rarities. I guess being greedy I would also love to see Martin Brest hot tomorrows on thanks again
HOLY SHIT!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!
Jon does the Lord’s work. It’s a crime that this film is unavailable. It’s absurd abuse of rights that has left it unavailable these 50 years even after it was named to the National Film Registry. What a great job, finding this bootleg.
Great find! Baby faced Danny DeVito, wow.
I have a 16mm print of this. Was told it might be the only one other than the one at the school? Fantastic film.
Thank you….can’t wait to watch it, Hot Tomorrow’s was so good.
Wow, I’ve been looking for this everywhhere!! Thank you!
What a treat!
Thank you so much!!
I did assistant camera work and lighting for Marty’s cinematographer, Jacques Haitkin, when he was a fellow at AFI between 1974-75. Marty soon followed, but I didn’t get to work with him. I’ve been telling my friends about “Hot Dogs for Gaughin” for years. I can finally share this 22 minute masterpiece with them now.
Excellent short film. Good find Jon
Hopefully, it is ok to list another site where Paul can watch Hot Tomorrows https://archive.org/details/hot-tomorrows-1977
