A/V Geeks

auroraWhile A/V Geeks DVDs make great gifts, here’s an opportunity to give even more. True friends of the A/V Geeks and one of the best microcinemas on the planet Aurora Picture Show, like all non-profits this year, has been operating within a stressed economy.  In addition, they recently experienced a financial setback: their office was burglarized twice and, after years of premiums and no claims, their office insurer denied them over a technicality. The A/V Geeks owe much to Aurora Picture Show by giving them their first out of state show and getting them to tour with their films.

So, to help out this amazing organization, the A/V Geeks will donate half the proceeds of their DVD sales in December to help Aurora Picture Show. So your gift giving dollar will not only give you some great DVDs, you’ll also be helping out Aurora Picture Show and the A/V Geeks.
