MPS DISTRIBUTION
We realize how valuable your time is, and we know
you have more important things to worry about than prints going out on
time to your clients, theatres, or broadcast stations. Our staff will
package and ship your dubs or prints using the carrier you prefer. Your
prints will go out "on time" guaranteed with our FLIGHT
CONFIRMATION REPORT enclosed with each order; plus we'll follow-up with
a phone call to make sure your order was delivered to the right person
in plenty of time for your showing. It doesn't get any better than that!
Ask your sales representative about HASSLE-FREE DISTRIBUTION from
Motion Picture Services.
