Hello, James, Thanks for your interest in producing educational videos. I would be happy to speak with you about Bullfrog Films and our distribution process. John Hoskyns-Abrahall and Winnie Scherrer are filmmakers who founded Bullfrog Films in 1973, and have had lots of experience with the educational market for independent documentaries. I've been with Bullfrog Films since 1987, and could offer some insight into the way Bullfrog Films acquires new titles. Send me an email or call when you have a moment. This is an exciting time for all of us. (She says, smiling.)

Would someone be willing to explain how the industry works or point me out to web resources. How does an educational DVD end up with a group like films.com? Do they come from independent development companies? Are they licensed by films.com? How does it work?
