Aaaand I think we're all about to get more requests for this title --
looks like they have a good publicity push behind the film:

I've found that one of the more challenging parts of my job can be to
get an instructor to shift focus once they've decided on a film. If they
get a title in their head, they tend to want that and only that -- even
if there are equal or even better alternatives. I'm hoping that after
this independent distributor starts to hear from more and more potential
customers explaining why these terms make no sense and they can't buy
the dvd, they'll revise them.
Best,

Title and its content wasn't my point. The film was requested by the Women's
Center because they'll like to do a campus screening. I've warned her that they
may need to pick something else.
I'm guessing filmmaker is trying to do everything independently instead of
going through one of our fine distributors and they doesn't understand that
library DVD sales are different than theatrical distribution. We'll see...
