Mr. Fowler,

Have you posted your inquiry on Frameworks, an e-list devoted to 
experimental cinema?  The e-mail address is 
FRAMEWORKS at LISTSERV.AOL.COM, although you'll have to join in order to 
be able to post.

The list is comprised of many experimental film and video-makers -- 
hopefully, some people there can help you.

Cheers,
MARK
