Greetings Great Innovators of Media Economics:
I checked with our Science Librarian. Ithaca College would be
interested in participating in the pending deal for the Strange
Disappearance of Bees:

Count me in. 97 left.
gary
Jon,
I pitched this to our Entymology Librarian, and we are in for "The
Strange
Disappearance of Bees". So 98 more to go for the $200 price? ;) I
don't
want to play my hand but one of our Entymology faculty, Dr. Marla
Spivak,
just won a MacArthur Genius grant and I'm told we have this new Bee
Lab to
study this monumental problem, so we will likely need to purchase the
3 or
4
bee disappearance films. Come on folks, just need 98 more... Jon,
we'll
be in touch :-)

In response to the Groupon suggestion and Gary's query, Filmakers
Library would love to participate. We'll put our heads together and
come up with a specific offer either for NMM or before, but consider
us interested!

I think I was 15 minutes ahead of you, but then I just read a
Vanity Fair
profile on Groupon.
I think we could try to set something up, however the issue with
current &
older titles might be libraries who bought them at full price
getting
upset,
but i guess you can't do much about that. I do think trying this
with new
releases would be a way to start.

Apologies for the spamming, but this got buried in the thread on
post.
I
am interested to hear folks take on this, and it appears Jessica
reached
a
similar conclusion at the same time:
Just a thought experiment here...
I understand that smaller distributors do not want to devalue
their
collections by cherry picking individual titles for substantially
lowered
costs and am sensitive to Jessica's claim that lowering prices
would not
necessarily make up for lost sales in terms of volume. You
gotta give
us
video librarians a fighting chance. Challenging times call for
creative
solutions. So I propose we crowd source this thing...in the
spirit of
Elizabeth Stanley, we need a Groupon/Social Living service for
Indies/educational media.
Picture it: for one day (or week) only, The Strange Disappearance
of
Bees
is
$200 or The Big Sellout is $100 (PPR negotiated separately if
needed).
Let's say price predicated on collective volume sales of at least
50
units,
offer ends at 500 takers. Only 5 titles can go up at any given
point,
and
only once a year. Open to all filmmakers/distributors targeting
the
academic market (with a small percentage of sales recouped for
promotion
and
maintenance).
Thoughts?
