I have also been wondering if there will ever be a DVD release. I
tried sending emails to Rhombus asking about it several months ago,
but never got any kind of reply. This guy looks pretty legit--thanks
a lot for the post, I may have to seriously consider ordering from
him.
By the way, if you've never seen it, the Unofficial Don McKellar Fan
Site at http://donmckellar.cjb.net/ has some great promo pictures and
stills of Twitch City. It hasn't been updated in forever, but the
pics are still there.
