About
Welcome to Kit Parker Films!
Today my library has grown to over two hundred feature films and many early television episodes. I own the Lippert Pictures, Medallion TV Enterprises, and the Weiss Global Enterprises libraries, and many independent productions.
In 1971 I founded Kit Parker Films as a 16mm non-theatrical film library. Later on we expanded into 35mm distribution of major studio classics and specialty films to theatres. Along the way we also co-produced television programs and released home videos. In 1999 I saw my first DVD, and was amazed by the quality; and I knew right away the days of film libraries were numbered. The very next day I started the long process of closing down my film exchange.
It was a blessing in disguise, as it allowed me to concentrate fully on my passion of locating and restoring “orphan films,” movies that have been out of sight for decades. I became a detective with a mission to locate the present owners of these “orphans.” It involved a great deal of sleuthing and patience as the original producers and copyright owners were long deceased, and the negatives scattered around the world.
My success has been gratifying, and wouldn’t have been possible without a life-long interest in the historical aspects of independent producers, the distribution of their movies, and the physical properties of motion picture film as well.
If you have any questions please email me at kit@kitparker.com
All the best,
Kit Parker

Hello Kit! My name is John Glass, my father owned the Em Gee Film Library/Glenn Photo Supply businesses. I stumbled upon your site while looking up Medallion TV. My father got me a job with John in 1983, I worked there for a couple years as the back room man, shipping and receiving prints going out and coming back from TV stations, repairing damaged prints, and keeping the library organized. He also had me work on his and Greta’s home theater, a business I’m still in to this day. As you probably know my dad passed away a few years ago, after selling the library to David Shepard. He didn’t get a chance to do much with it before his own untimely death besides donating most of it to the Niles museum. Glad to find your interesting site, brings back many memories.
