"I regret to inform you that we have decided not to represent the documentary. As much as we find it very interesting we believe it will be very difficult finding channels with the right slots and also the politic to show it. I truly wish you the best of luck and hope everyone will get a chance to see this."
- Tine Klint, Trust Film Sales, Denmark
"Thanks for sending us a copy of 'XXI Century'.
We enjoyed watching it but I'm afraid we're going to have to pass on distribution. We felt it wasn't balanced enough for our clients."
- Kathryn Bonnici, Head of Marketing and Development, Journeyman Pictures, UK
"I have, however, had time to take a look at two of the films in your series, and found them fascinating. Unfortunately, despite the high quality of the material, I do not feel there is really a way of doing them at this stage as part of the NFT programme. (…) people may feel they have already seen and heard all they need to know on the subject."
- Geoff Andrew, Programmer, National Film Theatre, London, UK
"I just had a chance to watch more of the DVDs you sent us here for evaluation. Although I was impressed with production value throughout, and often agree with the angle you take regards American foreign policy, American politics etc., the piece is not balanced enough for addition to our catalog. (..) This is a piece that appeals strongly to those who agree, but that has little credibility to a mixed audience that is comprised of liberals and conservatives. I commend you on your extensive time investment in the piece. Many of the interviews are outstanding."
- Yogi Graham, The Video Project, San Francisco
"Thank you for letting me keep the DVD. I will promote the series the better I can. "Bravo" again for this program."
- Annabel Bighetti, Senior Executive VP TV SALES & ACQUISITIONS TF1 INTERNATIONAL
"Sorry, unfortunately this series doesn't fit with our editorial strategy."
- Ann Julienne, Responsable des Acquisitions de programmes et des Coproductions internationales, France 5 - Groupe France télévisions
