CineMuseum, Flicker Alley, and Mack Sennett

Postby Paul E. Gierucki » Wed Oct 09, 2013 4:45 pm

It's official: CineMuseum & Keystone Films have teamed with Flicker Alley to release the Mack Sennett collection on DVD, Blu-ray and VOD! It is an absolute thrill to partner with Jeff Masino, his products are always of the highest quality, and this promises to be our greatest effort to date. There is still a lot of work ahead but we expect the collection to drop next year. At some point our friends at Flicker Alley will do an official-official announcement, just wanted to share the news with everyone here personally.

Thanks, all! This was a massive undertaking and a true group effort.
Many members from this forum have contributed their time, knowledge,
materials, and talents to help make it happen. The new Flicker Alley
association is the final piece of the puzzle needed to ensure that this
collection will be everything that we intended.

We are working on that now, Jim. Will post the title list when it is
finalized.

Paul,
I am glad that you made the right connection.
Flicker Alley seems like good guys as far as getting the classics out there.

I am so happy that you have this on the right track.
Hopefully sales will be great and this will snowball in your direction !
