Looks like my last post got lost in the system somehow, but basically it said...Road, what'd she say??? (But I understand if you don't want to post it.)
Looks like your buy ticked it to .125 ask
I don't know why I run Level 2 when I'm way long on BSEG, but I just can't stand the thought of missing a run.

Actually she was so damn busy during our conversation, getting interrupted with phone calls, yet trying to answer my questions. Just being very friendly and giving me the impression things were going very well and that they were very busy on their new productions.
It just impressed me I got to speak to her and I liked the tone of her voice she just seem so very sincere. She did mention they expect the big action for Dirty Love will be in DVD sales. She couldn't give me any information on box office ticket sales, because she did'nt have that info yet.
I any case she made me feel comfortable enough to buy more at .115.

Cool, Road, thanks! Yes I think the money for DL is definitely in the DVD. On the company message board they have posted that DL may stay in some LA theaters another weekend, but the theatrical run is mainly meant to increase the value of the product when the distributor negotiates foreign sales and the DVD sales.
In the case of a lower budget film like this, the theatrical run is not counted on as the main source of cash flow, although there have been notable exceptions in the past. I work in the film industry and can tell you that even the big studios are starting to plan around the DVD as their main product, even in the pre-production stages of a movie!!!
For instance, the company I work for did a movie two years ago for Sony. I forget the budget, but it was under $5M, somewhere around $3-5M I have to go back and check because it changed in mid stream. Anyway to date it has made around $15M in the DVD market. It NEVER played in theaters. Not for a day. The backers made bank on the DVD and are considering doing another. BSEG understands this and that's among the reasons why I trust them with my investment.

Hey guys, looks like were creeping back up. Glad you got that fill Road! I think you made the right choice raising your offer. I too really do believe BSEG isn't a scam. I have to make sure at times tho, ie ringing the transfer agent to keep tabs on the shares, but only because I've been burnt too often before by share dumpers.
Bialy it is you posting as Glix on the BSEG board isn't it? Thanks for the answer to my question about the box office figures. You seem to have a good grasp of how the movie industry works. I'm over my initial disapointment at the cold reception DL seemed to recieve on some sites and can see the potential for DVD sales. What makes a good film is subjective anyway. And besides it looks like this is only the beggining of the Big Screen story!!

For some reason I like this quote from the moderator at the BSEG board...lol straight to the point!!
"...if you're question is not answered for awhile, know that we are busy with making this a film company, not a message board company."

I haven't joined BSEG's Investor Forum yet, I try not to get to close to a stock. It can interfere with my trading decisions. Depending on how things go with the stock, I could change my mind.
You guys have been a good source of information for me and I did like what I saw on their web site.

It's the only other "finished" film so, probably so. Although it's a marketplace, so there's nothing stopping them from creating awareness of their follow-up "Lightfield" and their other development-stage projects I guess.
Self-distributing FAI is a bold move imho, and focusing on getting distribution for that will probably keep them pretty busy at the AFM. I'm eager to hear what news they return with.
