Podcast on Fire: Support Terracotta Distribution & Third Window Films
August 10th, 2011
Don’t ask why, but this is relaxing compared to what’s happening in the world nowadays.
London’s burning and Stoo is panicking! Facebook and Twitter have been a buzz with the news that our good friends (and friends of the podcast) Joey Terracotta of TERRACOTTA DISTRIBUTION (http://terracottadistribution.com/) and Adam Torel of THIRD WINDOW FILMS (http://thirdwindowfilms.com/) had stock that was destroyed when the Sony warehouse burned down in Enfield during the riots! This is affecting their respective businesses greatly but WE can help!
Logging onto websites such as MUBI.com that holds large parts of Joey’s and Adam’s catalogue and make use of thier Video On Demand service is one way you can help (a full list of these movies can be found a NEW KOREAN CINEMA .com). Also see below releated links. Thank you everybody! Let’s help some friends!
John Berra does a better job at explaining this than me, read his report!
Buy Third Window Films from Adam Torel’s Amazon Store!

Japan Earthquake And Tsunami Relief Fund
March 13th, 2011
Coffin Jon explains this alot better than I can;
As we all know very well by now, on Friday, March 11th at 2:46pm (JST), one of the largest earthquakes on record hit the northern coast of Japan and reverberated down the country’s eastern shores causing destruction and loss of lives not only from the quakes themselves, but also the tsunamis caused by them. We here have many friends and family members who were affected by this disaster, most of whom we are happy to report have been accounted for and were relatively unaffected. However, there are thousands of more people in Japan who require assistance, so we are calling on friends of VCinema to help out.
In conjunction with other Asian film blogs and podcasts, we are requesting our listeners and readers to make donations to the Japan Society in New York. The Japan Society is one of the oldest and most respected cultural centers in North America and have done remarkable job at promoting Japanese film with their Japan Cuts film festival and other such exciting film events. Information about the Japan Society can be found here. Also check out their dedicated page here for updates about the disaster and aid efforts. They are pledging 100% of all donations directly to the relief effort.
Other than donating, the only other thing we can do is convince you to donate. And for your charitable efforts we will reward you with a 3 Hour Podcast on Fire. This podcast is exclusive to everyone that has donated any amount of money to any of these main charities; Red Cross (US/UK), Japan Society and Global Giving.
All you need to do is forward your e-mail receipt from any of those Charities to; podcastonfire [at] googlemail.com
Thank you.
