Old Business: The Air Force ROTC was in contact.  He has allocated money and would like to sponsor a movie next September.  Matt Heyse was elected Advertising chair.  The issue of switching distributors was brought up.  Criterion has offered a price of ~$600/movie (not including shipping).  The issue of going solely through Criterion is the selection of movies.  A selection can be seen at http://www.criterionpic.com/.  A few questions posed to ask Criterion were:  Will the films be readily available?;   What about the statistics card that must be filled out with each film?;  How are posters sent?.  Another question is:  Will Swank lower their price with a limited contract?

 

New Business: Posters were distributed. 

 

Meeting Adjourned:  6:50 PM

 

Dutifully Submitted,
