BY JIM BESSMAN NEW YORK Having doubled its business and quintupled its penetration of households in the last year, Home Film Festival, a company that runs a mail -order specialty -video club, sees a national market that is becoming increasingly ripe for its services. According to company head Dan Jury, the 3 -year old Scranton, Pa: based company enjoyed a 100% increase in membership in 1987 and now claims 10,000 members. Additionally, distribution of its bi- annual, 150 -page, 700 -title Home Film Festival Program Guide has increased five -fold to 50,000. The guides are sent to club members, who pay a $25 initial fee and $10 annually in order to receive updates of the guide every six weeks, and to so-called associates, who have an- swered Home Film's print ads but use only the informational aspects of the service. Jury and Robert Mack, director of creative services, say that based on their interpretation of the evolving specialty -film genre and the charac- ter of its distribution and audience, they believe Home Film's growth can expand even more. "The major [video] manufacturers are pushing A titles more than ever instead of the specialty titles - art and foreign films, indies and avant-garde, documentaries, performances, and Hollywood classics - which we focus on," says Mack. "But they're still putting them out, and the public really wants them, but they have trouble getting them in their local video stores since [those titles] don't rent as frequently as the hits. "At the same time, many art-repertory [movie] theaters around the country are closing down now, unfortunately, leaving us as a means for home video consumers to get films of repertory- theater quality." Mack says Home Film Festival can act as a video store serving the entire country as a single market. The keys, he says, are to reach potential customers beyond the major markets-which are likelier to have surviving art-film houses or specialty-video retailers -and to avoid lo- calities with a "hits- oriented mental- ity:,, Home Film hopes to increase membership this year through advertising and to develop its program guide as a marketing vehicle for specialty -video manufacturers. To attract members, the company advertises in upscale literary and film periodicals, including The New Yorker, The New Republic, The New York Review Of Books, and Harpers. Awareness also comes from endorsements by such film lu- minaries as critic Roger Ebert and ì... _ ,+.+b:: . _...,enC_,6.s;< n, CS,- Remc .. _ .
