Beginning in March the Crumlic Media production "On Point: the Legacy of Jeff Korba" will be available for purchase, digital download and video on demand rental through the online seller Amazon.com. The On Point DVD has been available for online purchase at the film's website since late November of 2009 but expanding to Amazon.com will significantly increase the documentary's exposure and potential sales. In celebration of the new outlet Producer/Director Bill Crumlic has reduced the price for both sale venues.
At Crumlic Media's On Point film website the DVD price has been adjusted to $11.99 plus shipping and handling of $2.95 while supplies last. The Amazon.com price will be $13.99 plus shipping and Handling of $2.98. Buyers can save more than two dollars by purchasing through the official film website www.onpointfilm.com.
Bill Crumlic said, "I see Amazon as a great alternative because they reach so many people through their primary site plus the extras that come along with the deal such as the link to Amazon's Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com) and CreateSpace program."
On Point was granted an IMDb web page in January which has already helped to boost online interest in the independent film which has found a small but dedicated audience on its own site.
Although Amazon takes more than the the majority of the money generated by the sale, they produce the DVD's as people order them so Crumlic Media will not need to keep a large stock of DVD's onhand now that the initial rush of orders from Jeff Korba's friends and family has subsided. Crumlic still has several hundred copies of the DVD on hand but expects that supply to be sold off and depleted through direct sales and while he is on the road promoting the film at various film festivals in 2010. In fact, any time he travels (for any reason) he packs several copies and recently sold a DVD while having a drink at a hotel bar in Pennsylvania.
"I was chatting with the bar manager and the subject of what I do for a living came up. I explained the various elements of Crumlic Media and he was very interested in Jeff's story and asked where he could buy a copy. I dashed up to my room and brought back a copy which he happily purchased. It was a wonderful highlight of my trip that a complete stranger would plunk down cash so quickly!"
Crumlic is using the money generated selling the DVD's to fund the submission fees at the various film festivals and pay off the debt the film accumulated in production.
