Great to see you twittering the Monopolopy doc. We’re following you now and look fwd to seeing the film…
Uh but this looks a little spammy: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%22Under+the+Boardwalk%22+is+featured+
Regrettably, Dana, the special mandate studios no longer exist at the NFB. Responsibility for those mandates now reside in each individual production studio.
You missed out on the Twitter feed for “Under the Boardwalk” a documentary about the game of MONOPOLY that has been tweeting production updates since February, one of the first documentaries to do so!
Their feed is @MonopolyDoc
Does Studio D have a twitter account? Does Studio D still exist? (I hope so!)
