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.

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.
