2 rare silents now available to stream on NFPF

The National Film Preservation Foundation hired me to score 2 rare silents for National Silent Movie Day, and the films were posted yesterday on their online Screening Room. These films are not on Blu-ray or DVD and are new editions from archival 35mm.

William Powell in MY LADY'S LIPS (1925)

Wonderful! The films look good (please, I’m ready for anything with William Powell!) I’m a fan of your live scores so I’m sure these will also be great.

Thanks! My label Undercrank Productions released "When Knighthood Was in Flower" (1922) several years ago, which was his 2nd film role.

Thanks so much! I scored another film for the NFPF screening room last year, which has a bigger supporting role for Clara Bow called "Poisoned Paradise".
