There's been a bunch of discussion on the WetWesties list about the
movie Circle the Wagen.
<http://www.circlethewagen.com/>
So I wrote the production team.... <see below:>
Can anyone help out? I know that there was a site in South Africa that
had a bunch of commercials on it. Does anyone happen to have the URL?
Does anyone have any film? I have a couple old Castrol films from the
60s, but nothing VW.

WetWesties would REALLY like to screen this at one of our gatherings.
Any chance of a DVD being available? Any chance you could come spend a
weekend camping with us and share it? We'd supply the projector, the
screen, the food and the beer!
This is really good. The extended trailer captures the essence of what
VW owners are all about.

Hi Jim,
What a wonderful, encouraging email to get. And what a fantastic
offer. I'm excited to say that we are in post-production right now &
are on schedule to finish the film this year w/ an early 2012
premiere. And here's a point of interest for you & the WetWesties;
what we really need right now is vintage film stock. If any of your
members have old films stock, high quality footage of VW commercials,
factory footage, any of those great industrials VW put out in the 60's
& 70's, that's really what we're looking for to finish the film. After
we do that, I obviously can't say for certain, but personally
speaking, I would love to hang for a weekend, meet the WetWesties
family & screen our film. If you would, could you pass on that need to
your members & see if anyone would let us borrow that footage. We
would, of course, pay for shipping to & fro as well as include a
digital copy of their footage upon return as we'd be digitizing it for
our use.
I'll keep your info & keep you posted.
Thanks much, Jim,
