DVD & Bluray Manufacture/Fulfillment

Can anyone recommend a good DVD & Bluray manufacturing & fulfillment company? Thanks

In a report 2 weeks ago, Digital Entertainment Group reported this: As expected, disc sales continued to fall, with consumer spending on Blu-ray Disc and DVD purchases in the first six months of 2014...

I guess the main point I am interested in, which works to you comment about under 10k units, is that we want to sell off our own site but don't want to do the duplication and fulfillment. With a retur...

Yep. Didn't see your point about Indie titles initially. Just one film at this point; not a catalogue. I came across Kunaki who does small volume duplication and fulfillment on an individual order bas...

Tui, I usually point my clients to Disc Makers (www.discmakers.com). Very good prices overall. They do duplication and replication.

Wordpress Theme

I am after a free Wordpress theme for a website for one of our shorts. Recommendations anyone?

Sonia Apodaca-Harms

There are free ones included with Wordpress.

Wordpress itself offers some freebie themes. You can choose one of those and tweek if desired.

Tui Ruwhiu

None of the Wordpress free themes are really suitable for a film site. Best possible WP options are the photo ones but they are more for photo blogs. Most suitable free one I've found so far that works for a film is LENSA photo theme by Colorlabs but it's very buggy.

Thanks Tui. I'll do that.

Tui Allen

Thank-you - that's what I NEED to hear. Am I wasting my time then? I'd heard otherwise to tell the truth. Perhaps I was misled.I'd heard the original author could get work as a screenwriter - perhaps working with the help of others. Is that all nonsense?

Tui Allen

I am so ignorant of the whole world of film, so much I have no idea about. I just like going to the movies really.

Melinda Heaney

you ever go to simplyscripts.com? they have lots of professional scripts for you to read

Tui Allen

I have no interest in writing a screenplay about other things than my existing work. If that means I'm not a screenwriter - then I'm not and so be it. I don't think I want to try to write a new story...
