Hi Arturo,
Yes this helped.
You confirmed my estimation of how you were able to put together such a great package of work and lecturers. I was curious is there was a slim chance that the films could be packaged as set of reels with supporting text - that would then tour to various schools. It seems like this is a perfect opportunity to create interest from departments other than film, (Liturature, biophysics, history & etc.) thus generating support from wider audiences.
Thanks,
Alva
