	Thanks, Steve - that’s as I suspected. I was trying to utilise what’s available. I’ll still investigate whether the cinema projector is even an option, but I’ll also look into the cost of a rental. (I’ll also give the producer an estimate for purchase - just to put it in perspective for her.) The trouble with eMail is that I won’t be able to see her face when she sees THAT number! :-)  She’s the flighty - head in the clouds type with NO  understanding of the tech end.
