Dear Friends in the Press:
It's been pretty busy around here for the past few months. Our DVDs
are ready and will be coming out in a steady stream through the year.
Meanwhile, the Criterion Collection laserdisc library has grown to more
than 350 titles. It's an exciting time, but with all the production work
going on, I'm afraid we've had some problems handling the volume of press
requests we regularly get. To that end, we are making some changes in the way we fulfill
press requests, which I hope will make things easier for you and less
overwhelming for us.
From now on, we will be shipping press copies of laserdiscs and DVDs
directly from Image Entertainment's warehouse, which ought to speed up the
shipping, but as a result we must ask that you submit review requests in
writing, by email to press@criterionco.com, or by fax to (818) 407-9111. Be
sure to include all pertinent information, including the title(s) you wish
to request, as well as a current mailing address and phone number. If you
ever have a question concerning the status of a request, or if your request
is time-sensitive, please contact Garrett Lee's office at Image at
1-800-473-3475.
For updated production information, refer to Criterion's laserdiscs in production, DVDs in production, or recently released titles.
For other inquiries, feature articles, interview requests or any
press-related inquiry that doesn't concern review copies, please don't
hesitate to call (212) 431-5199, ext. 263.
As always, many thanks for your continued support and enthusiasm for our work.
Best regards,
Jon Mulvaney
