Nahum I know you mean well and are eager to sell your films but please stop posting about them on VIDEOLIB which is not for pushing individual films. The inquiry here was extremely generic about building a media collection and a particular streaming service. If every distributor on this list posted about their films as a follow up it would flood the list and make it irrelevant. When librarians make specific inquiries on a subject matter and if you have a film that relates rather directly to that subject matter than it is an appropriate response. I am not trying to be mean but you have done this before and again if videolib becomes as crowded with multiple posts on the same films as videonews is now than no one will read it. As a side note re videonews, I wish companies would limit themselves to a very few postings per title as opposed to once a month on films that may be years old or posting every time a film gets a review anywhere. What used to be a good way to get info out on new releases or topical library titles seems to have been overrun with a lot of extraneous posts.
Probably going to get a lot of flack for the above but if distributors want libraries to pay attention to their product and respect the product of other distributors ( and filmmakers) we need to cut down on posting over and over again on the same film. I am not saying you can't post more than once on something you think particularly important on videonews but please think about it carefully in terms of timing and number of times. I have a suspicion librarians are paying a lot less attention to videonews than they used to and it has a lot fewer subscribers than videolib.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
