Dear Friends, While most of you may be leaving tomorrow for Milan, we are wrapping the London Screenings with impressive performarnce for our brand new thriller ".com For Murder" and heading to our MIFED office. Our first and only screening in Milan, is Monday the 29th at 11:30 AM, Salla Lumiere. Otherwise, you can see the film in our own screening room, Office 222/223, Hall A2. Hopefully, we'll see you there. But if, for all reasons of current events, you are not going to Italy for this important market, please let us know, so that we can send you a DVD screener for the movie, if it's still available for theatrical, video, DVD and TV in your territory. In doing so, please specify the rights that you'd be interested in. When you receive the DVD, try to screen it with 5.1 sound. It'll bring you closer to the big screen qualities we gave this movie. Also a footnote, that Omega has available for DVD and TV all 12 high profile features with new digital transfers and new material for DVD. We sold many in London and we'll continue to sell in Milan. If you're travelling, bon voyage. Warm personal regards Nico Mastorakis President & CEO
