Author Topic: GDC VPF Program Shawn Tutor Film Handler Posts: 5 From: Wilson NC USA Registered: Aug 2011 posted 06-13-2012 03:01 PM                     We are close to signing VPF contract with GDC. I would like to hear from anyone who has signed with GDC. On the pros and cons.  |  IP: Logged Ryan Schoen Film Handler Posts: 10 From: Bay Area CA Registered: Oct 2010 posted 06-14-2012 08:15 PM                     I can tell you that they are great servers. Currently installing 75 of them. Don't know much about the contract side of the deal though.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 06-14-2012 11:59 PM                     VPF's through GDC is one of the more successful plans that could be had for the small owner..  |  IP: Logged Ron Funderburg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 814 From: Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 06-15-2012 02:19 PM                        We have GDC here but any specifics cannot be discussed by contract agreement. I think all of them have the same clauses.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-15-2012 03:42 PM                        You'll never know!  |  IP: Logged Ron Funderburg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 814 From: Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 06-16-2012 02:15 PM                        I think not being able to tell interested parties some details hurts them>  |  IP: Logged Andrew Thomas Master Film Handler Posts: 273 From: Pearland, TX, USA Registered: Jun 2012 posted 06-16-2012 03:24 PM                     Who at GDC have you dealt with? I sent an e-mail to Peter Kim after being sent his way by a cinema equipment vendor and have not yet heard back after 3 days. I don't want to be pushy and send him another e-mail, so if somebody else has a better contact there it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!  |  IP: Logged Ron Funderburg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 814 From: Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 06-26-2012 09:08 AM                        Andrew I'm a lowly theater manager the contact with the GDC on on the VFP program and all the restrictions is carried out by those above my pay grade.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-26-2012 09:36 AM                        This stuff is on a "need to know" basis. Few technicians have access to the confidential contracts signed by their ignorant superiors.

So far I have nothing but positives to say about GDC's service.  |  IP: Logged
