 PROFILE
BigStar Entertainment might be another dot-com falling star. The company's Web site offers 45,000 videos and DVDs, including feature films and children's, health, and instructional videos. Orders are filled by third parties. BigStar's users can also view short films, movie trailers, and star biographies. The company funneled its BigStar Direct software into Advaya, a direct-marketing subsidiary that e-mailed personalized messages to individuals and tracked the results; it sold Advaya to Expression Engines in December 2000. Co-founder David Friedensohn owns about 16% BigStar. BigStar is looking to sell all of its assets.
