Hi Jerry--------

Greetings from Brooklyn!

I am wondering why Jack's work should not be somewhat more widely available at this point. For instance, we know that Flaming
Creatures is online for viewing at UBU; Jack would shit if he knew that his work has suffered the fate of Montez's flix. There ought to
be options for renting it in 16.

In addition to the rental income, I know there were benefit screenings to produce prints. Is there a shortage of prints, or of funds for
prints?

Best wishes!
