Let the uncomfortable silence begin!
I've worked with Doc Films many times but have never dealt with anyone named Tim there. I can't speak for past regimes, but I'm betting Tim's Doc Films colleagues would have nothing but praise for the current state of our Rep department.
Absolutely true, and a pleasure to meet you Jared. The archive at Sony is really great. Working with management though is never fun (and thus the tumultuous relationship). All Hollywood studios (and this is true of Fox, Warner, MGM, etc.) generally utter the same customer "service" mantra: the customer is always wrong (and "we don't need your business"). Archives are extremely helpful though, and those working therein a delight. Those responsible for pricing and loaning prints though...oy vey. #-o
