We’re officially into fall and I don’t know about anyone else but, personally, that means finally starting to dig in to the seasonal comfort movies. I suspect I'm not alone - so beyond the thematic collections every month, you’ll also find the shelves rotating out to showcase some of our all-time top performers. As always I’ll continue to expand the collection in terms of both breadth and depth, but I’m also going to aim to ensure our core of beloved films and show doesn’t get lost in the mix among all the newest titles.
In some personal news, I’ll also be organizing a film distribution panel during the Rehoboth Beach International Film Festival in Delaware for the second year in a row, which runs from November 2nd through the 9th, so if anyone is in the area please consider this my invitation to come and check us out! Film festivals are a great way to stay on the pulse of new releases from around the world.
As for October on CloudLibrary Video specifically, our shelves lead off again with Hispanic Heritage Month which continues through the 15th:
