Moses Weitzman is a special effects film expert who employed Robert Groden as a trainee and junior level staffer in the late 1960s. Weitzman worked for his client, TimeLife, on the original Zapruder film in the late 1960s and was the first to enlarge the 8mm Zapruder footage to 35mm format. Although Weitzman gave his best Zapruder footage to Time-Life, he retained some imperfect 35mm internegatives (exhibiting track and framing error) he had made directly from the original Zapruder film.
Weitzman used these internegatives to demonstrate his technical ability to enlarge 8mm film directly to a 35mm format. Weitzman made these imperfect internegatives available to Groden during the late 1960s. Most likely Groden used prints made from these internegatives when he publicly screened the Zapruder film in the mid-1970s.
Weitzman testified about the historical importance of the Zapruder film at the Review Board’s April 1997 public hearing, and he donated a 16mm copy to the JFK Collection. Weitzman informed the Review Board that he no longer possesses any Zapruder film materials.
