Sadako's Funeral

[Gerry Malir Artsmagic Ltd]

If we were to supply a DV camera, is there anyone who would be interested in
trying to arrange to film interviews with directors, and other events like
the funeral which would allow us a) to build an archive and b)have add ons
in the DVD releases.

Your films are going out today. I've also left the details of our other
company below. You might want to click on and see what we're doing to
promote Wales. Oh, and we've just picked up the rights to Uzumaki.

Regards,
