I'm listening to this book at the moment and I am hooked. I loved Peter Clines' longer works (14, The Fold & Paradox Bound) and so far this one doesn't disappoint!Jorge Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261400823647487025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7337643831194551802.post-52420815277468082392017-11-08T13:23:36.911-07:002017-11-08T13:23:36.911-07:00Hi Jeff,

I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed it! <br /><br />To answer a few of the points you bring up, I would like to note that it is an understatement when I say that my team and I operate on a shoestring budget—that's being generous. We simply don't have the time, manpower, and especially funds to create complex special features for these kinds of releases. Unfortunately, the very costly and time consuming work of simply finding the films in the first place (or multiple prints, to make the best possible composites/restorations now, which can be incredibly difficult, when so few elements survive now) is what takes precedent here, and the final product you see is often the result of an already-Herculean effort. This work is simply not very profitable, and we're not independently wealthy either. My hope is that the booklets at least help put the films into some sort of historical context, giving background info about them, as you suggest.<br /><br />However, to help solve some of this problem in general, my co-collaborator Andrew T. Smith and I will be coming out with a film called Cartoon Carnival: The Documentary, which is the first-ever full length documentary in recent decades which focuses solely on early silent-era animation (also in HD, to boot!) and I hope this will be released to general audiences in 2018. My expectation is that the documentary will hopefully be able to educate new audiences about the general history of this period in animation history, and the Cartoon Roots releases, while still targeted to a highly focused audience, can then be viewed in even more informed context as a result. <br /><br />Thank you so much, again, for your interest and generous review.<br /><br />Tommy José StathesTommy José Statheshttp://tommyjose.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7337643831194551802.post-66683363918224186902014-05-04T10:17:01.709-06:002014-05-04T10:17:01.709-06:00Nice review Jeff.

A lot of stuff goes on here and while it may not all work, most of it at least kept me entertained enough to recommend it to anyone interested.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.comnoreply@blogger.com
