Your company have produced many DVDs of quality and great interest, but please remember that musicals and comedies are not the only subjects that classic movie buffs are interested in. When are you going to turn your sites on the Westerns and Film Noir classics ?

Dear A. Rawley,

I'd like very much to include some classic Westerns and
Film Noir thrillers in my production schedule. But you must remember that most of the executives in major video companies have little or no knowledge of cinema
( although,thankfully, there are a few exceptions). It is this situation that I have to overcome and it's not easy.

Although Laureate does have a good track record as specialist DVD producers, I have to sell the philosophy all over again at every meeting. The trouble is that certain marketing people are more interested in pleasing the dealers ( who can only understand chart language ) than in reaching the consumers ( who form a part of the market that is bigger than they realise ).

Rest assured, I'll do my best to ensure classic films of all genres are catered for in the future.

Thanks for getting in touch
Ken
