In 1990 newlyweds Dennis Doros and Amy Heller started Milestone Films in their one-bedroom NYC apartment.
Decades later, the partners continue to rediscover, restore, and reintroduce “lost” films. Doros began his cinema career as a programmer at the Athens Film Society at Ohio University and went on to restore films and head repertory distribution at Kino International. He also served on the board of the Association of Moving Image Archivists, most recently as president. Heller studied history before working at First Run Features and New Yorker Films. The couple has won numerous awards for their work and are currently co-presidents of a new organization, Missing Movies.
