Further to a recent post does anyone know where I can learn more about HandMade Films (websites, books, magazines, interviews etc) or whether the company has its own website - even though it was taken over by Paragon years ago. I have collected all the videos but it barely seems to be mentioned in George books and I've become obsessed. Can anyone help?

Have you searched IMDb (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Harrison,+George), The Dark Horse (http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Hall/1056/index.html) or even a search for HandMade Films?

IAN, I don't know of any Handmade Films website, but via Google I did find some sites which may be of interest to you and others;

Article + HandMade Films London address (if still correct)
http://www.hollywoodnetwork.com/AFM/handmade.html

British Film and Television Rights and Distribution Histories site, which says
HandMade Films rights are held by Equator Films.
http://www.bfi.org.uk/facts/distribution/british.html

Overview of the films
http://www.eskimo.com/~cathy/hariontour/harimovies.htm

Magazine article
http://www.shoestring.org/mmi_revs/george-harrison.html

If you go to Google and type HandMade Films you will find various links to sites/articles about the individual films.

Maybe this Google link works

Should I find more info I will add it later.

But what's often in your heart, is the hardest thing to reach
And life is one long mystery, my friend
So live on, live on, the answer's at the end"

Ian~ Here are a few more. The first lists prices the films are going for, but I don't know how current they are. The second is an interview with Michael Palin titled "George and Film"...it is short but really nice. And then the last shows the covers of the videos. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif
