I got a response to one of my letters.
As I mentioned earlier, I sent a note (snail mail) to Paramount Studios trying to get them interested in bringing Japanese Prime Time Doramas to the U.S. Home DVD market, and this morning I got this email:
"Dear Mr Foley
Thank you for your letter of September 22, 2004 to Mr Lesinski regarding your views on the potential US market (DVD) for "Doramas." Your thoughts have been shared with both our Japanese and US Home Entertainment management. Thanks for expressing your interest to us. And please keep buying your favorite TV shows on DVD!
Regards
Steven M. Glick
Executive Vice President Business Affairs, Licensees & Business Development
Paramount Home Entertainment International "
I'm kind of excited about this because now we have the contact information for the guys who make the decisions at Paramount Studios. And Paramount Studios is working hard on the DVD home market.
(Quick note: The letter I sent to Sony Corp America came back unopened because I didn't address it to a specific person. I'll have to work on that one.)
Anyway...
Snail Mails sent to:
Thomas Lesinski
President of World Wide Home Entertainment
Paramount Studios
5555 Melrose Ave
Hollywood Ca 90038
Obviously do get opened and read. And he's the boss.
Snail mail can also be sent to:
Steven M. Glick
Executive Vice President Business Affairs, Licensees & Business Development
Paramount Home Entertainment International
at the same address.
Or you can send him an email at:
[email protected]
You want high quality, legal copies of Japanese Doramas available to the U.S. Market? These are the guys we have to convince.
If enough people ask for this stuff... they'll think they can make a profit. And if they think they can make a profit...
So get out your pens and pencils boys and girls. Because one note from me isn't gonna do anything.
