These are just a handful of great DVD's on the market. Almost anything you are interested in is probably a DVD title available somewhere, and if not then a local producer may make one. If you produce S.I.V. look to see if a title of something you are interested in exists, if not why not produce one yourself?

Special interest Videos make wonderful gifts and most distributors will let you buy but ship to the recipients home, so they get it in a timely fashion. Look around for something that interests you!

Check out LULU.com and Createspace for great productions just as good as Hollywood features!
Enjoy!
