You might not know it, but when you buy a DVD, you are only buying the right to use that DVD in a specific way. Just because you have bought a DVD, it doesn’t mean you have the legal permission, for example, to show it in a movie theater and charge admission.  Is this fair?  We think it is.  Making films is very expensive and we rely on sales to recover the enormous costs of making each of our films.  If you are just one person, it isn’t fair to ask you to pay a large amount, so we keep the Home use price low.  On the other hand, if you are a large institution, it is likely that many more people will view the DVD over its lifespan, and the higher price reflects that.  What if you have limited resources and still want to get some public use rights?  Please feel welcome to contact us.  We made these films to be seen and to help people.

DVDs are leased for the life of the dvd. Once purchased, leased dvds are licensed for direct projection only by the acquiring institution, educational organization or independent professional.

Preview Policy
