Based in Port Perry, the London, Ont., native has clients all across North America and the U.K. Toronto International Film Festival organizers found him through Google to restore five vintage posters from their reference library.

The posters — from Written on the Wind; Playtime; The Sorrow and the Pity; Rashomon and The Leopard — will be featured in the free Essential Cinema exhibit when the Bell Lightbox opens Sept. 12.

“I loved movies and I was fascinated by movie poster art,” says Miles, 47. “My love for movies started as a kid when my mom wanted somebody to go to the movies with. She dragged me to a lot of movies. I think she spent her last silver dollar, if you will, to go see The Sound of Music in 1965.” read the full article at Toronto.com about The poster doctor heals TIFF collection (in partnership with thestar.com).

Testimonials

I sent Dan three posters from 1957-1963, all in fine/very fine condition, with the hopes that he could bring some life back to them. Upon seeing pictures of the posters, Dan said they would be pretty straightforward to restore. I think he was being more than a little modest, as when I got my poster back from Dan I was surprised by the results. He might not have thought it much work, but there is a night and day difference between the brittle, stained, folded and torn paper I sent him, and the clean, flat, linen-mounted posters I got back. I’d say the posters look good as new, but truthfully they look better than new, and probably better than they looked the day they were printed.
