Whoever Finds This, I Love You!

This short film is bascially, one of the first music videos ever made. Back then, the term "music video" had not been coined at the time. It was filmed in November of 1974 in Columbus, Georgia. The project was filmed for use on WTVM Channel 9 as a public service feature to run with local weekend movies to take the place of having to run six to eight individual public service announcments. At the time, public service spots were on 16mm film...so, the posts would take up all the four film chain projectors at during a station break..Often, that was very difficult for the on air director who had to quickly reload the projectors for the local 16mm film feature that likely would be running at that particular time. It was the brain child of Tom C. Lenard. In order to best be successful in gettting permission from WTVM programming manager Caroll Ward, Tom actually storyboarded the the idea and the lyrics from Mac Davis's "Whoever Finds This I Love You".
