Vivendi Entertainment maintains an inventory of manufactured compact discs and has continued to distribute the Picture for the benefit of the bankruptcy estate of Premise Media Distribution, L.P.
Bibles? |
Producers of TV shows use the term "show bible" to refer to a guidebook written by a show's creator that lays out all the information the writers will need to know in order to maintain consistency from episode to episode. I don't know how exactly this would apply to a "documentary" film, but I strongly suspect the term is used here in connection with this kind of "bible", not the other kind.
