Is the military radio and TV contract divided among a variety of studios around the country?
The military used to do it that way. But 11 years ago, they consolidated it and gave it all to one company. The idea behind that was to attract more bidders by making the contract a little more substantial. Now, we do all the spots, and it’s the largest contract that the U.S. government awards for film production. It’s worth about $4 million a year. We just signed a contract for a five-year cycle that’s worth $20 million. You also have been named one of the vendors to do film work for the U.S. Army Museum, which has a projected cost of $300 million and will open in 2013. What precise role will Film House play in that? This is going to be amazing. The part that we’ve been assigned is World War I. There’ll be other exhibits on World War II, Korea, Vietnam and so on. They chose us specifically to do World War I, and I think in large part it’s because they know our company has the expertise to find archival film footage, old footage … and identify who owns it. It could be privately owned
