THE VIDEO
I spoke at some length with the video producer, William “Wilky” Fain, whose production company can also be found at www.williamfain.com. He expects to complete the first video project in the next couple of weeks and is carefully considering offers received so far from buyers who have approached him about distribution or ownership rights.
