I’m fascinated by this shift in distribution that I’ve experienced in my own household with Netflix and watching three years of Downton Abbey in 3 weeks. So many opportunities for Courage and other excellent programs to get out there. I appreciate your words of wisdom as we start thinking about a Max and Liz TV show concurrent with the movie production.
Huzzah,
Jenny

I could not agree with you more. putting on the production such as yours without a network backing must be difficult. It is a shame that all the nonsense on television we the public have to put up with. You have a wholesome and a historical program that most people will never see. You are correct,marketing is a vital part of a successful product. I found out about it through a suttler,Middlesex Village Trading post in New Hampshire. I joined you website right away. I am a historical re enactor in Massachusetts ,a member of a British unit now ,but I have done militia and Continental Line too, But anyway, you offer living history vendors the oppertunity to sell the dvd’s and make a few bucks. I did e-mail a few of the suttlers I deal with to let them of your venture.
PBS is a one of the best avenues to persue. I know it was aired out west,hopefully it comes east. I would also contact Colonial Williamsburg,they have a ton of retail outlets there and a great book shop/video store. Even , Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge MA. Also, a great gift shop.
I have a fellow re enactor that works at The Boston WGBH PBS. He is in the radio side, but I can ask him if there is any interest.
Will you be doing any shooting in this area when you get into the war ? There are many re enactments in New England from April 18th to October.You could get some great footage.
Great to see your dream come to the screen. love you farm too.my dream house .LOL

I did send you an e-mail a while ago about my gggggreat uncle William Tarleton who ran a Tavern in Piermont, New Hampshire in 1774. He was a Captian and the a col. in the Rev War. You remind me of him. His brother Elias was my grandfather in the war also. Maybe it is in my blood too.
