Have something from the fair?

What helps most

1. Photographs and films of the fair, 1912 to 1916: snapshots, stereo cards, home movies, anything not already in the public archives.
2. Paper. Tickets, programs, postcards with messages on the back, letters written from the fair, souvenir books with an owner's notes.
3. Memories. A relative who went, a family story, a name on a list of workers or exhibitors.
4. Email hello@288days.com with a scan or a phone photograph of the item and what you know about it. I will ask before anything goes in the film.

The Marina today

1. Photographers. Stand where a palace, a court or a Zone show stood and photograph the spot as it is now: the street, the houses, the light. The signs on the Marina's light poles say what stood at each one, and the walk and the map show the rest. The original file, please, not a copy from social media.
2. Drone pilots. Footage over the Marina District, the Marina Green and the Palace of Fine Arts, the ground the fair stood on. You need the license and the permits before you fly. Footage for a film counts as commercial flying, so the FAA requires a Part 107 remote pilot certificate; flying from a city park such as the Marina Green needs a permit from San Francisco Recreation and Parks; and the Presidio, Crissy Field and Fort Mason are national park land, where launching a drone is not allowed. Check the airspace rules before every flight. I can only use footage that was flown legally.
3. Send a link to the full-resolution files (a shared folder is fine) to hello@288days.com, with where and when you shot them and how you want to be credited.

The terms, in plain words

You keep your rights. I get to use the picture.

By sending an item, a photograph or footage you confirm you own it or have the right to share it, and you give Keith Adler and Hollow House Films a permanent, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use it in 288 Days: in every cut and version of the film, its trailers and clips, this website, screenings, broadcasts, streaming and the film's promotion. The credit you ask for is shown when it appears. I may not end up using an item, and I cannot return or pay for submissions.
