When this happens all people will do is moan about what is being released over there compared to back home. There's evidence of this already on here.  |
That's not really true though. They're going to the US whether the crowd funding is successful or not.

Indiegogo is not only a good way for us to gauge your interest – after all North America is a fiercely competitive market – but also for us to have the funds available to pick up more titles for release without there being a big gap in our schedule and have you get bored and forget about us. Without Indiegogo we would need to wait til our first releases go on sale before we can then see what appetite is like for a new label and the kinds of titles we release with the approach we take. Indiegogo enables us to weigh all that up in advance meaning we can continue at our usual pace – which in the UK is about three to four releases a month.

They've also implied that they will be going back to their roots, releasing more Italian films. With two markets to recoup the costs they're able to restore the titles themselves, rather than rely on the often poor quality masters they've been given in the past from Italian licensors. Considering some of your comments in recent years about not liking the more mainstream releases from Arrow and preferring their earlier output, this should be a positive for you?
