KADIN DUSMANI DVD available as of today

Right, today, May 27, I got it from the factory and I'm waiting for 498 (2 copies were damaged and thrown away) buyers.

I hope I'll live long enough to see this release sold out.

KADIN DUSMANI in the Factory

Yesterday, I took the master to the factory, at long last.

I encountered a problem with the sound and it took me a few extra days plus a few 100's of Euros to get it fixed.
There was a horrible hissing buzz throughout and it wouldn't go away no matter what.
I had to take it to a special sound studio and eventually the sound became hiss-free, clear, strong and as good as it gets!

The picture quality is better than I expected. Well, it's actually one of my CLEAREST releases!
And now that I watched it with subtitles I loved it even more.
It's a genuine, original, sick, unpredictable gloomy giallo... from 1967, in Turkey!

Now, the dvd will be in my hands for sale by the end of next week.

As for the price?
Remember that my 500 copy titles were 23.50 euro in retail, ok?
But, as promised earlier, now that I've run out of wholesales, I will share my lost wholesale prices with you.
So, as of now, all my future releases will be sold for 17.50 euro, ONLY!

Ok, one of these days I'll let you know about my new acquisitions and the title coming after Kadin Dusmani.
As for "when" is the next one, it ALL depends on "when" I get back enough money to be able to pay for it...

KADIN DUSMANI and OTHER NEWS...

Here I am again, still breathing.

For those who care about what's going on with KADIN DUSMANI DVD, a few minutes ago I received the subs and I'll shortly start working on them.

Well, lately I've been -and still am- facing various problems with my personal life... lots of shit etc.

A big problem is the cash.
My current super-discounts don't seem to do the trick and I can't say I'm ready to pay for the dvd costs right now.
See, I'm one of those guys who hate owing money to anybody.
I always work in hand-to-hand terms. One hand gives the cash, the other hand gets the stuff.

But since I also hate fooling around I'll save on bread and milk and I'll just go on and release this damn thing in about 3 weeks.

This time, I'm in the unpleasant position of declaring that there's no retail sources you could buy this one from.
Right, I'm out of wholesales.
And I don't give a damn if a couple of small stores buy 2-3 copies from me just to demonstrate they got cool stuff for sale.

At least you can now buy them much cheaper than before since I'm going to combine the old wholesale prices with my retail ones resulting in really attractive prices!

Too bad though, as I'm going to have to wait for a loooooong time before I get back enough cash to release my next dvd.

...Speaking of which, what's it going to be?

I'm not really sure...
I was planning to seal the deal for the ALTIN COCUK films and CICI CAN and release the first ALTIN COCUK film next...
BUT, Yilmaz Atadeniz is back again, asking for more money since I was dumb enough to sign licenses for 18 months ONLY instead of 5 years like ALL companies do!!

This case is a big pain in the ass and I must either throw tons of dvd's in the toilet and never release other films at all, OR pay Atadeniz LOTS of cash!

This situation has caused me so much trouble and grief that I've lost my appetite for the whole Turkish Films story.

I may as well start selling greek cheese-pie in my neighbourhood or something...

CRAZY DISCOUNTS (KICKING RECESSION'S ASS)

Everybody is talking about financial crisis, recession etc etc and they're lamenting that business is going to hell and sales are 80% off and they're going to close down and other crap!

Why crap?
Because those who complain are not doing the slightest thing to make things straight.
Why??
Because: 1) THEY ARE BRAINLESS
2) THEY ARE LIARS.

For months now I've been trying to go on some trips here in Greece for the weekend and I tried to book a room at some remote villages.
Result?
I always try 2 months prior to going and they ALL tell me they're FULL!
And when I find something the prices are 20-30% higher than last year!
And when I go there I CAN see all hotels and pensions are FULL indeed!

Now, I'm trying to travel to some european capital, next month.
Same shit.

The travel agencies here are telling me that prices are indeed MUCH HIGHER than last year and that ALL hotels get full!

Same with houses here.
They're saying they remain unsold but prices are HIGHER than last year!

Same in the supermarkets.
They say they're getting fewer and fewer customers BUT their prices are 20-50% higher than last year!
Besides, I can see that ALL supermarkets are JAMMED with customers!

Same with restaurants, same with electronics stores etc etc...

SO, WHO THE HELL ARE THEY FOOLING????

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, as far as I am concerned...

Yes, my sales have managed to drop even lower than before.

So, what could I do besides lamenting for my bad karma and my miserable fate?

HOW ABOUT SOME SALES?

So, if you check my site www.onarfilms.com now you will see what I mean.

PLUS, unlike some previous time when I didn't mention normal prices, now I'm mentioning the old prices so that you actually see that my discounts reach up to 50%.

Ok, but "HOW LONG WILL THEY LAST?"

I'm not really sure for the moment.
Maybe till the bad times are over?

Or till I raise enough cash to release the next dvd KADIN DUSMANI?

For the moment, I MUST help myself by helping people with REALLY CHEAP prices.

KADIN DUSMANI DVD NEWS

A few months ago I was optimistic enough to believe that this DVD would be out "early 2009".

Well, unlike older releases, no accidents have happened to any of the people involved in this (YET).

So, what's the idea?

The idea is best described as "no money no honey".

In particular, sales are going to hell in general.
ALL my wholesale customers have dumped me and my retail ones seem to be broke for ever.

So, it's all a matter of money and nothing else.
I'm just trying to raise the funds to pay all the relevant bills as I hate owing people money.
I could just go ahead and release it and keep people waiting to get their money till I get enough money but this is NOT my style.
I raise cash FIRST and THEN I proceed with the production.

This goddamn recession has affected dvd buyers too, obviously.

So, according to my current estimations, it should be out middle April the earliest or middle May the latest.

HAPPY NEW YEAR...

With good HEALTH and PEACE...
oh... monologue: {and some better sales wouldn't hurt either..}

Speaking of sales, those December sales are over and now the prices are back to normal again.

WISHES...

Here's a good opportunity to wish you A MERRY CHRISTMAS (for Christians) & A HAPPY NEW YEAR (for everybody)!
