I thought the idea was for the DVD to be a promotional item to get people interested in irises and AIS - one of the basic tenets of our charter.
I doubt the market for a “for sale” “This is AIS” DVD is big enough for any professional producer to be interested.
However before we get into a lengthy discussion of the merits, we need to know some idea of the cost.
Thanks
John

I think our first choice is to find someone who does the filming and production as a business. Then license the sale of the DVDs so that AIS earns several dollars off the sale of each disc but doesn't incur the expense up front. The person filming and producing the DVD assumes the risk and AIS doesn't care if the person sells 10 or 1,000 copies; although 1,000 at $2/disc license fee. We would likely have to share some of the income with Presby but that is OK. We would need to work with Veronica to get a license deal that is fair to AIS. What I am saying is this venture should be left to private enterprise and not AIS funded and fronted.

I could imagine squeezing a couple of hundred out of the budget. Perhaps if we knew the cost we could get enough $20 donations to cover it and each donor could get a DVD.
