Re: [Videolib] Help w Establishing video company
Hi It's not really rocket science. You contact the person(s) responsible for acquisition and if they're interested, they'll ask for a screener for consideration. The alternative, of course, is to set up your own lemonade stand on the internet and hope for the best... Maybe our vendor friends on this list will chime in? gary handman Hey, I'd like to start producing educational videos. Would someone be willing to explain how the industry works or point me out to web resources. How does an educational DVD end up with a group like films.com? Do they come from independent development companies? Are they licensed by films.com? How does it work?

Re: [Videolib] Help w Establishing video company
Hello, James, Thanks for your interest in producing educational videos. I would be happy to speak with you about Bullfrog Films and our distribution process. John Hoskyns-Abrahall and Winnie Scherrer are filmmakers who founded Bullfrog Films in 1973, and have had lots of experience with the educational market for independent documentaries. I've been with Bullfrog Films since 1987, and could offer some insight into the way Bullfrog Films acquires new titles. Send me an email or call when you have a moment. This is an exciting time for all of us. (She says, smiling.)
