Buy my DVDs

I just realized that I never put a link on this blog to the DVDs I made. I started off with an old William Shatner flick that was only ever a TV movie, but at the time (1970) I was blown away by it -- and I was not alone. So, I found the best copy I could lay my hands on on Mini-DV that had been taped directly from cable TV, and made menus for it and chapters in Final Cut Pro and then offered it for sale. I think to date, over these seven years or so, I've sold 1,000 of that movie alone.

(Note that I never violate trademarks; if it's available on VHS or DVD commercially I would never try to sell it, and if something I sell becomes available on DVD I stop offering it).

Tonight Brigitte and I watched a movie I did that still amazingly is not on DVD, Bedtime Story, with Marlon Brando and David Niven, that was remade with Michael Caine and Steve Martin as Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Bedtime Story is much funnier than the remake, and I'm amazed no one has ever heard of it!

I did quite a few cult movies -- designed the menus, the cover art, the blurb on the back of the DVD box, even art on the DVD itself. Unfortunately I sold the equipment a while back so I'd have to buy it again to do more movies. But I had a whole bunch in the works . . . I did 22 episodes of the TV series Twelve O'Clock High (which is still not on DVD), Mission Impossible, Robinson Crusoe on Mars, complete with commentary and subtitles . . .

You owe it to yourself to contribute to the good of cult filmdom and buy one from me!

Who loves ya, baby!
