Early color would make a good mini-series

Hello Gentlemen,

Funny for this topic to just spring up now. I've been working on precisely this subject with a French TV director for the last year or so. The film's title is "Color Wars".

We are in the process of actively scouting for a production company & getting a budget together. I have translated into English the 30 page synopsis to widen the selection of coproducers we are targeting.

A project like this takes forever to take off in France, and we got the comment several times: "not enough French content" i.e. SECAM.

We answer, well the US single-handledly developped color TV and had it in service a full 16 years before Europe! so there's much more of a story there.

Concerning Henri de France & SECAM development, there is very little data, documents & footage. It's virtually as if the man never existed!

Best Regards
