Well, today the time came to let this particular cat out of the bag.
Over the past few months a deal has been developing to see XYZ Films - the company I'm a part of - and Celluloid Dreams form a new joint venture to handle the worldwide sales of international genre films of all varieties. And today our new endeavor was officially launched to the press.
Welcome to Celluloid Nightmares, the return of the Celluloid genre arm, this time with XYZ Films on board as a partner in the venture to bring projects into the fold. Which means that now I not only get to find and promote the stuff I love best here at Twitch, but I also will be part of trying to get these things out to an appreciative audience. Officially I'm now the Head of Acquisitions for Celluloid Nightmares with Travis Stevens (formerly of Imagination Worldwide and a guy who should be well familiar to Fantastic Fest attendees) as the Head of Sales, but it's really proving to be more of a collaborative process involving all of the XYZ and Celluloid folk. We're pretty damn happy about it so far.
The official slate kicked off in Cannes with two titles, Simon Rumley's Red White and Blue and The Orozco Brothers' Saluda Al Diablo De Mi Parte and we're hoping to add a few more before the market is done.

Aw Todd, you dawg!
Head of acquisitions, no less!
Congrats to you and everyone at XYZ, and here's hoping that the new venture will be hugely successful. Maybe even enough for you to be able to give away loads of stash to loyal readers and contributors...

Thanks, Ard! And meet the first fruits of my labour.
