Hi Matt, I agree it's sad to think that films rarely exist in a physical format anymore and also particularly depressing as a filmmaker to think that all the time and effort spent making films could be lost in a few years. Just imagine some future civilisation unearthing a reel of film, all you really need to do is shine light through it and spin it fast enough to watch it, can't imagine it'll be quite the same digging up a hard drive and then having to find the right cable for a hard drive that was only compatible with an Apple computer 200 years ago...
Maybe some sort of physical format for films will come along again although given the fast food throwaway nature of video now I'm not holding my breath! Perhaps one option would be to crowdfund for a DVD version of future films where they'd only get made if enough people signed up for it
