See you all at the hot air balloon fiesta, er, NMM in ABQ! We did the librarian/vendor streaming video discussions (jokingly called cage matches) on Sunday afternoon before the Market officially started. Would a discussion at that time fit into the schedule? ~Barb Barb Bergman | Media

Hello, Just my nickle’s worth. This is indeed a wonderful post, and I would like to see a forum held in the near future either during Market, or at some other venue which could (re)address these issues. Libraries across the board are suffering deeply with budget/travel cuts, so it would be

I concur, an update to the Summit 5 years on would be a great idea. Unfortunately, there are many like myself who are unable to attend. If we do have this forum, my guidance would be to seek some kind of mechanism for remote live participation if at all possible (e.g., Hangout, Skype, WebEx,

Greetings everyone, A group here on campus was very interested in hosting a screening of Tighttps://youtu.be/eO7kJ0j4Qzw. Unfortunately the distributor declined our request. I just watched the trailer and it's fantastic looking, but that is making it that much harder for me to think of an

Sorry can't help think of an alternative but just know you are not alone. The Netflix model has been to only allow docs they buy to show in NY LA to make them Academy qualified and then refuse all other requests from theaters to colleges. A lot of venues really wanted to show the Nina Simone doc

Tig looks like a great film. What aspects are they interested in? Women, LGBT, disease/disability, comedy...? 65_redroses is about woman with cystic fibrosis connecting with other with CIF. (No standup comedy, that I recall.) http://www.rocoeducational.com/65_red_roses I know there are a

Sarah, I couldn’t agree with you more – on all points! The vast majority of video librarians with whom I communicate are in that same camp of working their butts off to do things right and to develop and maintain positive relationships with producers and distributors, and to do their best to
