Along with Umbrella Entertainment’s upcoming releases of Dogs In Space (another difficult to find Australian cult classic) these are my most anticipated DVD releases this year.

I’m just thrilled to bits that this film is in circulation once again, will inevitably go on to DVD and TV, hence the wider Australian public (and the world) will take it on board.

Yours sincerely

I’ve just seen the film and wrote a piece on it – I think you’ll find our perspectives on it (and hopes for the recognition it deserves) have a lot in common. (!) Have a look at it on my blog if you like, link below. (I wrote it just today, tho it’s backdated for positioning on my main page.)
