Email this morning from The Wilby Wonderful Team, re: Wilby Wonderful is my new favorite movie.

Dear [Dira],

Sorry for the late reply; it's been a busy fall for us!

Thank you so much for your comments on our film and our web site.

Good news: We have just today closed a deal with a US distributor. We will
post information on the US release on the tourism page of our web site
shortly. We also understand an article will appear in Variety on November
9, 2004.

Regarding your raging debate and point of minor curiosity: Paul Gross is not
in the group photo as he was not shooting on the day it was taken. The blue
T-shirts say "Camp Wilby" on the front, and "The Big Cheese" on the back...
in-jokes from set.

We really appreciate your support, and hope your friends in the US will
enjoy the film too!

Warmest regards,

The Wilby Wonderful Team


The tourism page is here. The website hasn't got release details for the US yet, but it does indicate that the DVD will be available in "early 2005."

Oooh. That is... uniformly cool, actually. There is no part of this post that is even remotely unawesome. You have a direct line to Wilby! Also, mmmmCheese. *notes to self: check stands for Variety tomorrow*

Yes, I'm excited about the Variety article - the uni library I work in used to get it, but now we're down to electronic subscriptions (damn budget cuts) which means text-only - so if there are pretty pictures attached, I'm going to have to rely on somebody else getting hold of them...

nice
