SIXTEENmm (https://sixteenmm.org), a streaming site for old, hard to find and indie films.

I've spent most of the year working on colourisation and recovery techniques. Colourisation is probably 70% of the way, but restoration is as hard as ever.

The project isn't meant to be a unicorn. The tech stack is boring, and probably wouldn't scale.

There's about 50 people on board, and about two or three videos streamed a day - so it isn't remotely "successful" yet, but I set a four year timeline for it.

I don't have any specific stats to offer - because I don't collect it. I collect as little data as I can get away with. Both for personal belief, and economic reasons.

Hard to get massive fines for the inevitable breach when there's no PII to steal.
