What kind of numbers is Tribeca seeing, per movie offering with VOD? That is, how many average purchases are you seeing from the Tribeca offerings? If it's a wide range, depending upon movie, then how about the range? No one from Tribeca seems to be willing to throw a number out. I realize you may feel this is private or proprietary info, but sell-through DVDs and rentals are tracked and publicized in the trades. Why not VOD numbers? Not asking for specific numbers on specific films, but a general numbers or range for Tribeca's films. That's not too much to ask, is it?

Like ThisAnswer ThisWith the flood of technology moving toward 3D as the next frontier in cinema/television etc. Have you started to see 3D take serious consideration in discussion for future festivals? If so, how do you feel this will influence the way in which stories are told and audiences interact? P.S. Glad to see you were a Bruin.
