Hi all,

I have a faculty who would like to purchase streaming rights to the following 
films.  The first three are all Ohio based films/filmmakers/distributors - none 
of these provide any type of streaming services, nor do we have a server at 
Ohio U capable of uploading films.

I'm wondering as a non-filmmaker/distributor - how difficult is it to ask for 
something like this?  In the world of streaming services, these types of things 
are always a bit wonky, and if so, suggestions are welcome.

I feel I am not well rounded enough on streaming to speak to how smaller 
filmmakers deal with this issue.

Thank you all for your feedback.
Best,

*         Devil's Oven - I can contact filmmaker and see if she has a streaming 
copy, but probably not!  These are just little companies.

*         Cheshire Transaction - same deal, since it is Ohio based we might get 
something from the filmmakers.

*         Forest Returns - same thing, Ohio based and I could perhaps find the 
filmmakers/company.

*         Inhaling the Spore -  and same thing, but they were distributed by 
Microcinema, which no longer exists.



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.
