What I heard was that director was EXTREMELY difficult and no one wanted to deal with her in terms of distribution. I see something like 8 copies listed in VHS in OCLC and another 8 or so in 16mm. I think the bottom line is that you would have to contact Ms. Firestone directly but since she clearl

Will the first person who gets in contact with Ms. Firestone report back. It does not appear she is selling copies since there is no library listing for a DVD copy on OCLC. Well to be accurate of the 14 listings they seem divided between VHS and 16mm , the only DVD appears to be dubbed from a VHS.

It isn't a purchase. Unlike many of ASP's other packages, the content in this one is licensed for a number of years. There is no option to purchase the content. The material is great as is the platform, but this one is really on a subscription model, not a purchase model. mb Michael Brewer | L

You could try to see if it was released in the UK and get a PAL copy but it was never released in the US and asking the rights holder to sell one DVD with English titles in NTSC on a film they failed to sell in the US is not likely to work and not worth tracking them down. Keep in mind well over 9
