Hi everyone - I am the filmmaker of SLEEP DEALER.
I also run a distributor of Latino films for the educational/institutional market, http://subcine.com We negotiated to sell DVDs with PPR rights to the educational market years ago, before Maya Entertainment went out of business. My understanding is that right now, with Maya out of business, the film has no general distributor, but my producer and I own it, and SubCine is still selling it. SLEEP DEALER is listed for sale, with PPR rights, here: http://www.subcine.com/film/40-sleep-dealer.html Many thanks for your interest. All the best, Alex > Hi all, > > I'm trying to get ppr for Sleep Dealer - http://www.sleepdealer.com/ > > It is not through Swank or Criterion. In fact - I believe it is through > maya-entertainment.
