Hatboxes on DVD

We all love streaming movies, or watching them on cable or satellite.

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.
