[tof] Self Distribution Kit for doco-makers

[tof at lists.culture2.org]

Hi Jen, I think this is an excellent idea. I wonder if there has 
already been feasibility work done on these possibilities, or if 
individuals might have advice about their own experiences? It sounds 
like a great idea for a workshop at the next documentary conference (in 
Melbourne) if it is not already on the list... The SPAA / ASDA 
Documentary Council's draft report (SADC/'Creative Strategies'/Higgs 
Report) suggests the establishment of an "Ozdoxs" site (borrowing the 
'brand' from the mob doing such a good job in documentary cultural 
events in Sydney) for this kind of work - it is one of the better ideas 
in an otherwise blisteringly disappointing excercise. Best JH
