Re: The Orchid...Atlantis and Other New York Tales

 Eric,

 Has there been any progress with the Delany DVD? You mentioned that 
you might include the short film "The Orchid" if you completed the 
DVD. I bought Atlantis on VHS from you long ago, but I'm dying to 
see "The Orchid". Is there any way on earth for a person to see this 
short film? I'll do anything.
Thanks.

-Jason
