Great news! Score one for the independent
filmmakers. Some of you may have read in the past about how unhappy
I was when a 2 pack deal with Fear of the Dark and The
Tenement fell through.
Fear of the Dark was later targeted to be
included in a box set with other producer's movies. While I am not
a fan of these box sets myself, I certainly have nothing against
them. I didn't have a problem with the movie going into the box set
as long as it saw a separate release with all of its bonus materials
intact.
The box sets passed me by while I continued to
work with Brain Damage Films on a solution to release Fear of the
Dark as a solo special edition DVD. Finally, we have seen the
light at the end of the tunnel. Brain Damage has agreed to release
the movie with all of the Fear of the Dark related extras on
October 3rd. They kept their word that they would work with me on
getting this released intact and I very much appreciate it.
The great thing about this whole negotiation
process is that it has paved the way for a new Brain Damage Films
business model that will ultimately help other producers find an
outlet to release their movies that might otherwise not exist.
