There’s always room for a new exploitation-flick DVD label: the val­ley of cult cin­ema is as wide as it deep and we need all the brave souls we can muster to plumb its depths and unearth all the hid­den trea­sures.  Film biz vet Larry Gold III is the lat­est to answer the DVD call and has announced his new Intervision Picture Corporation label.  This Thailand-based com­pany plans to hit the ground run­ning in 2011 and has announced a quar­tet of titles for release in the year to come.  Read on for all the digital-schlock details…

INTERVISION PICTURE CORPORATION TO OPEN FOR BUSINESS IN JANUARY

Legendary Indie Shocker ‘The Secret Life: Jeffrey Dahmer’, First New Jess Franco Film In Years Slated As Maiden Releases

San Francisco, CA/Bangkok, Thailand – November 15, 2010 – The newly cre­ated Intervision Picture Corporation, fea­tur­ing sev­eral long­time vet­er­ans of the home video scene, today announced it was rolling out its aggres­sive sched­ule of Cult and Exploitation releases start­ing this January.

Bangkok-based Intervision Picture Corp. has just inked a deal with distribution/manufacturing main­stay CAV to han­dle solic­i­ta­tion and phys­i­cal distribution.

First releases are both helmed by recent Goya Award Winner Jess Franco. The Sinister Eyes of Dr. Orloff, a long-thought-lost clas­sic from 1971, was finally unearthed in a Budapest vault fol­low­ing an exhaus­tive inter­na­tional search. Orloff will be paired with Paula-Paula, the most acclaimed Jess Franco film in over two decades.

Intervision Picture Corporation has also just announced the acqui­si­tion of the sem­i­nal ser­ial killer study The Secret Life: Jeffrey Dahmer, along with two of the great­est Ozploitation entries of the 1970s — Australia After Dark and The ABCs of Love and Sex.

The deal was nego­ti­ated by Larry Gold Sr., Founder and CEO on behalf of Intervision Picture Corporation, and Jay Douglas, Vice President of Product Development on behalf of CAV.

CAV’s Douglas said, “Larry Gold is one of the few true leg­ends of the video indus­try and we are thrilled to bring his lat­est and great­est brand to the CAV stable.”

Intervision Picture Corporation’s Gold added, “When I decided I was get­ting the band back together and putting out a new line, Jay was the first per­son I called. CAV and Intervision both are in the midst of new, excit­ing ven­tures, and I look for­ward to the partnership.”

Gold, an early leader in the world of VHS dis­tri­b­u­tion, has an impres­sive resume stretch­ing back to the early 1960s, when he founded the London-based Solid Gold Films Ltd. Long thought retired to his estate in Southeast Asia, Gold cited “the need to get qual­ity pic­tures back on the shelves” as his chief rea­son for get­ting back into distribution.

“I’ve still got the rights to over 850 films across all for­mats — and I intend to exer­cise them in a man­ner that will result in classy, special-features-laden releases crafted for the dis­crim­i­nat­ing pic­ture­goer. Film dis­tri­b­u­tion has got­ten a bit off its bear­ings as of late, and we at Intervision Picture Corporation intend to bring back a lit­tle of the way things used to be.”
