Stan,I’m so glad you’ve completed the DVD production. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it; you did a fantastic job! I came away with an insight into your father’s personality and how it affected his career and relationships. More importantly, you chronicled his many accommplishments, and left no doubt that he truly was a genius. The tempo of the film and your organization of the material, kept the viewer’s interest throughout. Congratulations it is a wonderful tribute to your father. Because of your effort, I am sure many people will come to know of Raymond Scott.
HI STAN
IS THE DVD REGION FREE?
Yes–it’s region free NTSC Video….
Hi Stan –
I received the DVD yesterday and watched it this morning – really fascinating film, all the way through. Great job putting it together! I loved it. Thanks so much.
Just finished watching the documentary. Outstanding work. Definitely worth the wait. Thanks for all you’ve done. Now convince Mark to finish up the Electronium and release a collection of random compositions!
Steve:
An attempt is currently being made to restore the Electronium to working-order.
Stan,
Thank you for that outstanding documentary! I have enjoyed watching it and will now enjoy your father’s music even more.
Thanks again,
Gunther

I can’t wait to see this dvd. I’ll order soon.
Thank you very much.
I would really love to see this in theaters, but so far it looks like it has only screened in the Netherlands (Sept 17).
Would it be possible to list where it will be screening?
Mr.Chirpsky: Not sure why you’d say that — it’s been screened approx. 25 times so far, with more planned — see this page for a list of upcoming screenings:

Warm regards
Received Friday. Watching it for the second time and came on here to order for my (ex!) father in law Robert S. Cooper, lute maker, musician. I’ll watch it again when I can- on deadline right now, but this is so rich and inspirational. Rock on Warnow family. P. S. I think there is material for a part 2.
Thank you Stan, for a glimpse into the life of one of my musical heroes. Can’t wait for the DVD to arrive in the mail.
All the best.
Peter–thanks for your post, hope the DVD gets to you in Welllington before too long. BTW NZ is one of my favorite places on earth, have visited 4 times, including stops in Wellington…
all best,
Stan Warnow

Need a digital download (filmbaby is a good method). Shipping to Egypt is too much with a 50% chance of it getting lost in the mail anyway . . .
Thanks for the suggestion and recommendation–I am looking into VOD…
Great DVD! Loved the whole thing,…..it fully added to my understanding of your father’s music and life.
Thanks for sharing it with us. Happy 2011 to you and yours!
Just saw the documentary screened in Portland–learned so much and want to thank you for putting this amazing and honest history together.
Hi,
would like to screen this as part of the arts event season I run here in the north of the UK. Who do I need to talk to ?
Dear Stan,
Thank you so much for bringing your wonderful DVD of the life and works of your dad to light. It brought remembrances to me that were touching, and your portrayal of Raymond the man, musician, inventor, ring completely true to my vivid recollections of him. He was a valued friend, and valuable mentor, whose intelligence and musicality I miss to this day . . .

ooh would looooove to see this – any chance of a uk release? hugs
Hey Graham–thanks for your interest. A UK theatrical release is unlikely though that would be great–the film was shown at the Glasgow and Sensoria festivals awhile back. But you can order the DVD on this page–it is in NTSC video format but should play on any modern UK DVD player as I believe they are all now multi-format, and certainly should play on your computer. Let me know if you have any other questions….
-Stan Warnow
This DVD looks and sounds very promising – are there any subtitles, English or otherwise?
Hi and thanks for your inquiry–unfortunately there are no subtitled versions, though if there were enough demand it would be possible, what languages are you interested in? Are you thinking of English closed captioning or ???
Stan
Just ordered the DVD
My father was your Dad’s accountant in the 30 & 40′s
Did he have a brother. I remeber meeting 2 Warnows when I was a kid.
Yes, Raymond Scott’s brother was Mark Warnow, and he was also a bandleader: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Warnow
Hello!!
I`m Sidney and I’m writing from São Paulo, Brazil!
I’d like to know if you could send the DVD to Brazil because I’d like to buy it!
Documentary is so hard to get into the theaters in my country and I really love the Raymond Scott’s electronic musics
So…
Glad to know about it!!
Hugs
