John Hart was born in Glendale, CA in 1940.  In 1946 his mother gave him some stereocards and a stereoscope to keep him amused while she worked in her classroom.  John fell in love with 3-D on the spot.

During the 1950s John was an avid 3-D comic book collector and drew anaglyphs with colored pencils.  He begged his parents to take him to every 3-D movie that screened in 1953-54.  He managed to see most of them.

He joined the Pasadena Stereo Club in the 1960s where he learned about Bolex 3-D.  He has had a fascination with amateur 3-D movies ever since.

Joining the SCSC, he helped found the 3-D Movie/Video Division in 1982.  Serving as the chairman of the Division for twenty eight years, John was recently honored with a lifetime SCSC membership and recognized as 3-D Movie Chairman Emeritus.  He is thrilled by the current 3-D movie renaissance.
