And music? Outside of Japan, at least, the world has embraced downloading files and streaming services.
Still...there's nothing quite like having a thing in hand. Yeah, I appreciate the convenience of reading Nicola Griffith's novel Hild on a tablet, but there is just something special about having a book in hand. It's akin to going to a theater to see a movie – like for tonight's Reeling program, which will feature Con Vex, directed by Sam Smith, Hatboxes' script supervisor.
Someday we'll probably release Hatboxes via streaming; as of now, Hatboxes is available on DVD. It comes shrinkwrapped in an environmentally friendly cardstock case, and besides the film itself, the disc includes a closed-captioning option, director's commentary, storyboard highlights, the shooting script, a glossary, and cast and crew biographies.
