Hey Man! Administrator!
I love it when people talk like that...people will buy the cheapest! we are not talking about the cheapest here, we are talking about stolen goods of course it's got to be the cheapest, when was the last time someone stole a watch and sold it for more money than it really cost. You see administrator, you need to take out that FilmHaiti.com from your administration because what you are saying has nothing to do with movie costing less it has to do with stolen goods, where is your support?

...if you do not want to see it that way think of the following:
THe man buys a DVD and makes a copy of a work he didn't spend a dime creating nor producing.

He didn't have to pay any talent, techniciens, food, Hotel rooms and he didn't have to sweat it out like we producers do all the time trying to bring some entertainment to all of you. So he buys a 1000 blank DVD's for about 12 cents who knows maybe less and turn around and sells them with a disgusting cover with the worse picture of the lead actors like they did my film. So you still want to say people will buy the cheapest...when you spend money to produce brother, you have serious expenses and must recoup your investment...we are trying to do that except thieves try to cut us out. The only investment the pirate does is that he buys blank DVD and makes copies...

Our problems has nothing to do with distribution it has to do with working together to get the audience to understand the problem and to support us, not the guys who are stealing our original films to copy them without doing the work...I have a solution and you'll hear it soon...keep reading Belfim.

All the other filmakers should write and give you an answer.
