I can't believe it... he has more films than Doug Meltzer! [Eek!]

Wow 24,000 films and has only watched 5000 of them! So he has only 19,000 films to go, but if he buys 3 films per day like he say's he does when will he ever find the time to view them all?
[Eek!]

Skip Elsheimer is the guy that does A/V Geeks. Here is his website: http://www.avgeeks.com/

I love educational films, there are a lot of very cool re-discoveries to be made in that genres. I screen them occasionally for my film club here in Berkeley -- the right combination of programs will usually bring in many people.
