Deaf Crocodile

[Craig-Rogers]

Very pleased to announce our new company!

So if I read that right, you’re doing a 4K restoration from the original camera negative but it’s only for theatrical release? I would give you money straight out if my wallet if you put it in a 4K disc.

[dylrichard02]

Thank you for the restoration! I can't wait to check it out.

[Craig-Rogers]

We are only handling the restoration. It's going to be great!

I'd be darn surprised if the film's producer and SHOUT don't work something out though. I hope they do! I want this disc as much as anyone!

Craig, I saw your Reddit post and came here to make you guys a thread. I did a quick search for "Deaf" but the forum didn't return any results so I went ahead with it only to be notified of your thread 5 seconds after making mine.

Anyway, here's the thread if you want to take a look.

Will be interested to see what Indian cinema release you can come up with. Beyond Satyajit Ray, much of Indian arthouse cinema is unexplored, especially in HD.

I realize that you can't mention any names or anything like that, but what sort of movies are you guys going to be working on? Drama? Kung-fu? Musicals? Documentaries?

What's your niche?

[bsend]

I have Assault on Precinct 13 on DVD and Shout blu ray. I would support this release.

[bsend]

Craig-Rogers, is there any chance you want to have the initial post like the other studio threads with titles etc? Maybe someone here could maintain it.

I really utilize those initial posts to learn more about labels and see what they are releasing.

[Craig-Rogers]

New, Independent, Lost/Unseen and World Cinema with a special interest in World Animation, LGBTQ films, Cult Horror + Fantasy, and the work of neglected and underrepresented Filmmakers from across the spectrum.

Nice. You guys were part of the Cinefamily as well, no? God, I miss that place

An early peek at my restoration efforts.
I put together a short (~3min) video for you all.
It should be noted, this is not the final color grade...hell, nothing is final until it's released. I just keep plugging away as long as I can.
Enjoy.

Always cool to see more companies releasing physical media these days.

[captainjoe]

Saw your reddit post and love how Assault is already looking. More before and after comparisons would be great to see and maybe even some interviews and behind the scenes looks at the process. If you need an editor for those to help with the workload I'd glad help with that

Looks awesome! I hope someone puts this on a 4K disc.

Finally get to share what I'm currently working on!

THE UNKNOWN MAN OF SHANDIGOR is a marvelous and surreal hall of mirrors, part-DR. STRANGELOVE, part-ALPHAVILLE, with sly nods to British TV shows like “THE AVENGERS” and “DOCTOR WHO.” The film stars a Who’s Who of great Sixties European character actors starting with the unforgettable Daniel Emilfork (THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, THE DEVIL’S NIGHTMARE) as crazed scientist Herbert Von Krantz, who’s invented a device to sterilize all nuclear weapons called “The Annulator.”



Daniel Emilfork in THE UNKNOWN MAN OF SHANDIGOR

A mad herd of rival spies are desperate to get their hands on the device, including legendary French singer Serge Gainsbourg as the leader of a sect of bald, turtleneck-wearing assassins, and Jess Franco veteran Howard Vernon (THE AWFUL DR. ORLOF). Gainsbourg’s deranged jazz-lounge song, “Bye Bye Mr. Spy” – performed by him on funeral parlor organ, no less – is arguably the film’s high point.

Wait - Howard Vernon in a real movie? I didn't know such a thing existed!
