We’re starting to get calls for March, “Women’s History Month”. Abby is working on getting us into a program at the United Nations. And there are a few other opportunities as well.

The bad news is that so far we have been turned down by Oklahoma and North Carolina PBS as “too out of the box”. And all but one film festival has also not accepted us, although Slamdance said to apply again next year. We are waiting to hear from Minneapolis and Chicago.

What you can do to help:
1. Contact your local PBS station and find out if we can send them a review copy, and to whom, specifically it should go.
2. If you have a website, or are a member of women/aviation websites, ask them to please put a link to this site www.wingsoftheirown.com on theirs. The more people link to us, the easier we will be to find in searches.
3. Send e-mail to wings@makebelievetv.com with suggestions.

If we don’t have a distributor by the end of February, I will try to get a $3,000 to start distributing it thru this site and on Amazon. (that cost includes Masters, UPC code, labels and authoring of the first 1,000 DVDs which I would like to sell for $19.95 plus shipping) Any investors out there?

Fair Skies & Tailwinds for All,
Mary Scott and Abby Dress
Co-Producers of “Wings of Their Own”
