This window card might
have been from the stage
show at the Hippodrome
long before the film
Hi there!
Your blog here is full of amazing photos throughout circus history, many of which we'd love to use in our upcoming feature documentary about circus bareback riders and the history of the American circus. I was hoping to get in touch with you to inquire about who owns the photos so we can work on attaining permissions to use them in the doc.
Hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks so much!

When you write "our documentary"
Who does the "our" represent
Which photos do you want to use
Many are the property of several
photographers & show fans
"Features" & "Documentaries"
are 2 different categories
Hi Chic,
Are you the owner of this blog? I'm sure these photos are from many different photographers, which is why I'm reaching out — to find out where they are from so we can get the appropriate permissions. Assuming this is your blog, or a blog you contribute to, you have quite the collection of images we haven't been able to find elsewhere on the web, so I thought you might have good insights into these photos' origins.
It's a feature-length documentary. By saying "feature documentary" — which is common terminology — I was expressing that the documentary is feature-length film (81 minutes) and not a short. "Our" refers to Lunchbox Communications, a production company here in Philadelphia. Our director (whose last documentary was Oscar-qualified) started filming this documentary (The Great Flip-Off) over 10 years ago. It recounts the history of the American circus, with a specific focus on circus bareback riders. We are connected with and have followed over the past decade many of the remaining bareback riding families such as the Loyals, Suarezes, Zamperla-Zoppes, and more.
I'd love to connect with you on a more private channel such as email, where I can send you a link to a folder with all the photos we'd like to use, Please feel free to reach out to me here: gab (at) lunchboxcity (dot) com.
Many thanks,
Gab
Hi again!
Is there anyone that runs this blog that I can get in contact with?
Thanks,
Gab
"Lunchbox" is a marketing firm
pure & simple as their website
shows & explains their intent
"Lunchbox will make your audience laugh cry believe and BUY"
Yours is a datamine request
Which of your clients is this
"feature length docusalespitch"
being prepared for Gabriella
Hi Chic,
I understand your hesitation but I can assure you we have only good intentions with making this film. Our director has been deeply involved with circus performers and insiders for over a decade, and many of them are her friends.
It's true that Lunchbox does advertisement work, because we are an advertising agency/production company hybrid. I don't know if you've made any films lately, but they're quite expensive! Creating all kinds of media (ads, docs, print, etc.) helps us do what we love -- preserving culture through documentaries. If you don't believe me, you can check out the website that represents our filmmaking arm -- LunchboxDox.com.
Again, we have been working with circus performers and industry insiders for about a decade now. Many have given us permission to use their beautiful circus photos because this is a historical film. We would really love the chance to just discuss where you got some of your photos so we can contact photographers and give credit to all the artists and visionaries who documented the American circus so thoroughly. Assuming you run this blog, you've already been a great help in our research providing a rich website with amazing images.
I'm really hoping you reach out to me at gab@lunchboxcity.com so we can talk more.
Thank you, Chic.

Hi Chic,
This is Dafna Yachin. Producer/Director of "The Great Flip-Off!" Our AP, Gabriella has been trying to get a hold of you for over a month with no success. We do have a small hybrid Ad Agency/production, Company Lunchbox Communications, which is our bread and butter and we also do independent cultural presentation indi films and films for nonprofits -- for our soul. Our last film. Digital Dharma: One Man's Mission to Save a Culture, was Oscar qualified in 2012. For Thegreatflipoff.org we have been working with many of the traditional riding families, along with Ringling, Ringling Museum, Dominique Jandau and circopedia and James Cole who suggested we get a hold of you. Please email me with your info. We really could use your help we are looking to complete the film by the end of the month and have been working on it for 10 years. We are trying to find the source for a number of photos from your site and would like to email you that list of photos that we identified. My email is Dafna@lunchboxicity.com Thank you!!
Sorry Chic...Typo in the email. Dafna@lunchboxcity.com Thanks. Hope to hear from you.
Not so Dafna
I responded to Gabriella by E mail

I will respond to you tomorrow
