Distribpix honcho Steve Morowitz stated the following regarding the Blu-ray and DVD release of The Opening of Misty Beethoven Collector's Edition:
Distribpix Inc. is located in Monmouth County, NJ. We are inland, and did not suffer the severe devastation that was seen in the barrier islands of NJ and other areas, but we did suffer severe electrical system devastation, as did much of New Jersey. Much of the area is still in the dark, as are many areas, and I send my best wishes to you and my thoughts are with you and your families.
This has hit very close to home for many of us. It puts things into perspective. This week has been tough for our family, and on me and my nerves, but we are surviving, have learned a lot and have bonded, etc. We realize how many things we take for granted. Just want some power, and want to move on, make up for lost time, and try to heal from this.
With all of that said, much of the Project Misty shipping, with an original release date of October 31, 2012 for the DVD set, and even much of the pre-shipping was scrapped. Our facility has no power and until the electricity is restored, I am not able to get into the building.
I am using a friend's wi-fi to send this message, as we are still in the dark at home as well with no power at all, and have been totally offline for one week, not even able to read or return emails. It has been more than tough, just doing simple things like going to the bathroom, keeping warm, finding drinking water, gasoline and food. All in all, we are very lucky: people were killed by this storm, people have lost their homes forever, and lives will never be the same.
Once I am informed that I am allowed back into the facility, the following will resume:
• Project Misty backers will begin to receive their rewards;
• Screeners for reviewers will be shipped;
• The Opening Of Misty Beethoven Collector's Edition 2 disc set will immediately ship to those who have been patiently awaiting their wholesale orders; and
• For retailers, it will also become available for order at Distribpix.com and other online sites
One positive thing that came out of this last week of inactivity is that the Blu-ray has been shipped and if it is timely, we will be able to release that in classic fashion, at the same time or within a few days of the DVD. This way, everyone gets exactly what they want.
I will keep you posted of all new dates and developments, but as soon as I am back on the grid, Misty will be underway in a hardcore way. I care about all of you and for those of you affected by this disaster, be well, take care and best wishes to all others, hang in there, Misty is right around the corner...
Did I just hear that there is supposed to be a NOR'EASTER on Wednesday?? WTF!?!
