[Videolib] William Greaves Productions
Anyone know whether this company is still in business? We wanted to upgrade two of their films, From These Roots and Black Power in America : myth or reality from VHS to DVD, but my acquisition staff says they can't contact them in any way or format, i.e. fax, phone, or mail. http://www.williamgreaves.comhttp://www.williamgreaves.com/index.html thanks for any info...

Re: [Videolib] William Greaves Productions
I just got off the phone with Mr. Greave's widow, Louise. The 800 number is functional. There is a glitch with the online contact form, however, that she is aware of. A direct number is: 212-265-6150 She is a little up there, so bear that in mind. However, Louise is eager to see her husband's legacy perpetuated in distribution, and is working to ensure that is possible.

As far as I know, the entire Greaves collection went to NYPL Schomberg Center. Shola Lynch is the curator there.
