Film Prints was an independent company formed from
Reel Memories in Wichita, Kansas. Over the years, Film Prints released
a number of very beautiful and sought-after anniversary
and limited edition movie art posters.
Film Prints worked with the Roy
Rogers museum to create several great pieces that that were the last
ones autographed by Roy Rogers before he died.
They also worked with Turner Entertainment to create
a beautiful 50th anniversary Casablanca.
Film Prints normally created their own artwork or used
well-known established poster artists to create new artwork, with the
approval of the studio. The posters issued by Film Prints were quite often
individually numbered.
By definition, the posters issued by
Film Prints are not considered "legitimate movie art" because
they are not released by movie studios in conjunction with the release of
a film and they are released for sale to the public. However, because their
posters present new artwork, even many hard line collectors accept these
beautiful posters as "collectible" because they contain artwork not available
on any other poster.
Here's a list of the posters that were released by Film Prints:
Unfortunately, Film Prints, Inc. closed
their doors in 2000 due to illness.
