New URL
We’d just like to note that you can now navigate to our website at both http://www.departure-productions.com/ and http://www.departureproductions.com/ — whoever was sitting on the URL without the hyphen has dropped it after almost a decade, and we were able to snap it up. We’d also like to note that there is a Departure Productions account on MySpace which is not us.

We cut together a piece entitled Respond, a short, 7 minute compilation which depicts the health effects of the toxic dust from the World Trade Center collapse on 9/11 first responders. These heroes volunteered their time after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, and are now paying the ultimate price.

A DVD ISO file as well as some torrents have been...
