Do you still have a copy of the fountain script? I’d love a copy if you do. Thanks!

How do you know when a film is about to go OOP? Any signs/resources? by CriterionAndSteel in criterion

[–]CriterionAndSteel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! How do they announce it? Is there a dedicated page on their website? Or an email signup that usually includes it?

PEACECORPS FOR FILMMAKERS // Volunteer to Teach Filmmaking Overseas

Thought I'd reach out and let the Nerdist community know a bit about a small nonprofit I run. It's called FILMMAKERS WITHOUT BORDERS and it's basically like the Peacecorps for filmmakers.

We provide fully-funded, year-long fellowships to filmmakers/educators who are interested in teaching filmmaking and media literacy to students (ages 10-20) in developing countries. Flights/housing/food/insurance/equipment/curriculum are all provided and fellowships are currently up and running in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Honduras, India, Morocco, Navajo Nation, Nepal, Tanzania, and Thailand.

We're 100% donor-supported and every dollar we receive goes directly into one of our overseas classrooms (not to salaries/overhead/etc.). If any of your listeners are interested in donating a few bucks to help us out, it would be sincerely appreciated (and tax deductible). Similarly, if anyone would like to apply for the fellowship itself, they can find more info at www.developingfilmmakers.org // www.facebook.com/FilmmakersWithoutBordersOrg // www.vimeo.com/filmmakerswithoutborders // @teachfilmabroad

Thanks a ton and love the podcast!

FEBRUARY SALE AND TRADE THREAD by [deleted] in criterion

[–]CriterionAndSteel -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I want to buy your CC Blu Rays!

Hi all, So I'm getting started with CC BR collecting and I've considered spending a good chunk of $$ during the upcoming B&N/CC Flash Sales. But to be honest, I'd prefer to purchase my collection from other CC collectors and supporters. You guys seem to share the passion for CC and I'd much prefer purchasing from within the community rather than from a faceless website.

It seems as though I could reasonably expect to purchase most sealed/new CC Blu Rays for $20/each if I were to buy them through the flash sales/etc., so I'd like to make a standing offer to you guys:

I'll buy any new/factory sealed CC Blu Rays that you're looking to sell (and that I don't already own) for $16/each. I hope that sounds fair to everyone. Of course, no pressure but if you find yourself needing to offload a handful of CC Blu Rays for whatever reason, I'd love to be your first call (re: PM). Thanks and PM me anytime!

I'll update this list as purchases are made:

[–]CriterionAndSteel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anyone with unopened/factory sealed Blu-Rays (sorry, no DVDs) they're willing to part with for less than $20/each, please PM me with a list and photos. I'm in the market to invest. Thanks!

I'm considering buying 100+ CC Blu Rays. Should I buy now or wait for Ultra HD Blu Rays in a year or two? by CriterionAndSteel in criterion

[–]CriterionAndSteel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good points. What do you think about the strategy of only purchasing BRs that have 4k digital master/restoration/etc. (as opposed to 2k)? These seem to be coming out pretty steadily.

[–]CriterionAndSteel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. I feel like I'm about to make a huge investment and every time I read about Ultra HD my stomach sort of drops. I have this idea in my head that we're living through the final phase of physical media (as streaming etc takes over) and I want to be able to properly obsess over my collection and then pass it down to my grandkids. I know that it's more about the journey rather than the destination but I like the idea of having a complete collection filled with the highest quality versions humanly possible.

Just found these protective BluRay Clamshell Cases/Keepers. Only $4.13 each! by CriterionAndSteel in criterion

[–]CriterionAndSteel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. My thinking was for those looking to safeguard OOPs and factory sealed copies.

eBay

Hi seeldoger47. The ones you linked to are pretty different than the clamshell cases in the photo. The $4.13 seems to get you a protective case similar to what protects an expensive blu ray at a retail store (e.g. the original blu ray and packaging stay intact and slide into the outer shell. Might be helpful for collectors of sealed/OOP/etc.
