We interview a lot of interesting people here on the Mr. Skin blog, but few of them can say their work is as important as Joe Rubin ‘s. Joe basically came out of the womb an exploitation fanatic and has been amassing an impressive private collection of vintage exploitation and erotic cinema since he was a teenager. Now he’s also launched a digital restoration company, Process Blue , that specializes in rescuing exploitation and X-rated films from obscurity and giving these long-neglected artifacts the respect that they deserve. Joe says that often when he contacts directors about restoring their films, they are shocked and touched to realize (often for the first time) that their work is remembered and appreciated as art. That’s something that Process Blue is trying to change. Process Blue is getting off to an auspicious start by participating in the excellent restorations of Radley Metzger’ s “Henry Paris” films in partnership with DistribPix and with the very, very exciting project they’re working on now: a Kickstarter campaign to restore three previously “lost” films by exploitation legend Herschell Gordon Lewis . We talked to Joe at his home base just around the corner from the Mr. Skin offices, where he told us about his massive collection, his work with Process Blue, and the unmatchable elegance of Kelly Nichols. More after the jump!
