VK,

I live in Los Angeles, a highly atypical market since there is such a high involvement in the entertainment world. The most prominent museum in Beverly Hills the very expensive and chic Richard Meier designed Museum of Television and Radio.

There is also a very strong interest in film and television history among the general populous and the lines at art and revival cimemas long. My wait to see "Crumb" was more than an hour. If you stop almost any 25 year old in Santa Monica and ask about their favourite cinematography, they are likely to answer with something fairly considered like "Touch of Evil" and then talk the next hour about the screenplay they are writing after work. The movie industry decision makers are also generally young: a senior V.P. at M.G.M. at 33 was the most knowledgable movie historian I've ever known.

The "damn market economy" is unfortunately the best way to get things done with any enthusiasm, but I wish that all that marketing energy could be more true to the product. If the product is a continuous sequence of images and sounds, then to make it discontinuous with a completely other set of images and sounds spoils it and suggests that continuity is not important. They don't sell Buicks with a horse cart spliced into the middle as a reminder that "horses are nice too".

Cheers,

Bambi B
