We at AFD/Typecast Films are always open to negotiating discounts to help libraries or individuals work within tight budgets—especially when multiple titles are ordered. Just give me a call! Though we do have quite a few titles available only with PPR (more obscure titles that folks aren't clamori

Re: [Videolib] How do you know when you¹ve become an artist?]

HEY I HAVE THE SOLUTION. Let's do our own Groupons. Say a distributor has a new film about the women fighting for the right to drive in Saudi Arabia ( or any subject you want) They put it up on their site two months before release for pre-orders at $30 each and it "tips" 750 copies. If they can g

Re: [Videolib] How do you know when you¹ve become an artist?]

For what it's worth I say the same. I do not buy PPR for the library unless there's no option. Bullfrog, WMM, et al., I would buy 10 $30 DVDs with no PPR for every $300 DVD I buy now -- currently just a few a year. Debbie Benrubi Associate Librarian Universi

Re: [Videolib] How do you know when you¹ve become an artist?]

I remain a cynic. I don't want to be, but I know the financial situation behind small docs often on rarefied subjects. You may have some success with titles that could have a wider audience, but the majority of "educational" films are on very specialized subjects. The numbers really are that a dist

Re: [Videolib] How do you know when you¹ve become an artist?]

Dear All, As I said in my earlier note, many of our films are available without PPR for $30. For new releases, many of which we will be announcing over the coming weeks as they open in theaters, we will be asking $149 without PPR but if you want to place an order of more than five films from Ki

"If the library community wants to figure out a way to assure distributors they will literally sell 10 times the number of copies if they sell titles at $30 a pop, I guarantee you distributors would jump at the chance." It's not up to the library community to make assurances for the distributors

Re: [Videolib] How do you know when you¹ve become an artist?]

Trust me, educational distributors would be thrilled if they could sell copies at $30 and basically make the same sum at selling it at $300, but it will never happen. I don't doubt you and James will buy a copy of films you would not otherwise, but many educational titles deal with very specialize

Re: [Videolib] How do you know when you¹ve become an artist?]

Hear, Hear. Jessica is correct in saying that there's a limited market for the films independent distributor's deal with. We, the librarians, know that better than anyone because there's limited viewership for those titles once they're in our collection. It's impossible for me to justify purc
