Lisa,
Take a look at Come Hell or High Water DVD from Bullfrog Films.
Description and trailer here: http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/chow.html
This intimate film tells a gigantic story - about race, about power, about
so-called development. But it is also a saga of community, resilience,
resistance, and hope. It's about everything that matters in our society. Bill
Bigelow, Rethinking Schools
Finalist, CINE Golden Eagle
Kind regards,
Elizabeth Stanley

Hi Mat,
The overriding theme for this film series is resilience (we are, after all,
marking Katrina10 in a big way down here). We already have several Katrina film
options so we're now looking for other issues that can be associated with the
concept of resilience; it could be illness, race, LGBT, gender, etc. The field
is, actually, pretty wide open. The people making the final selection tend to
like films that are recent productions, have a rapid pace (our students lose
interest far too quickly), have a high production quality a la Hollywood (for
the same reason), and are easily accessible. I think Tig stood out because it
appeared to meet all four criteria.
Thanks!

Thanks Randy. FYI we also handle MITT, which is the Netflix Original Mitt
Romney documentary following him and his family on their campaign trail in the
last election.
In terms of similar films to TIG, what elements were you looking for? Films
about comedians, biographies, or cancer/medical stories?
I am sure all of us distributors are happy to make recommendations based on
those specific needs.
Best,
Mat

Sorry can't help think of an alternative but just know you are not alone. The
Netflix model has been to only allow docs they buy to show in NY LA to make
them Academy qualified and then refuse all other requests from theaters to
colleges. A lot of venues really wanted to show the Nina Simone doc and others
but were blown off.
I am not even sure if Netflix ever releases their docs on DVD/blu ray
Anyone know if you can legally buy a copy of VIRUNGA?

Greetings everyone,
A group here on campus was very interested in hosting a screening of
Tighttps://youtu.be/eO7kJ0j4Qzw. Unfortunately the distributor declined our
request. I just watched the trailer and it's fantastic looking, but that is
making it that much harder for me to think of an alternative, similarly themed
film that we could use in its place. Does anyone on this list have suggestions?
Thanks!
