So as you may have already heard, our Arrow Video USA
Indiegogo campaign was a success and we exceeded our original target! A huge
thanks goes out to all of your for your support and pledges – we really couldn’t have made it without all of
you!
We’ve previously
created a handy Arrow USA FAQ but
we can see from your questions and comments that there are still a few areas
that you would like us to expand upon and address. So, without further ado,
here is an updated FAQ for all things Arrow Video USA:
UK RELEASES
Q. I’m a loyal UK fan and I'm worried that UK fans are soon
going to be forgotten – is there any truth in this?
A. We started in the UK
Q. So as you will be releasing titles in the UK and US
won’t that mean that people in the UK will miss out on titles you would have
released as just Region B?
A. We have
UK-only releases planned well into 2015 and that may still continue. It won't be so cut and dry for a while so we'll solicit your
feedback and go by sales data to inform our decisions.
Q. How exactly will your move to
the US benefit those restricted to region B?
A. By being able to release in
two territories we are now able to tackle more restorations as we have greater ability to spread our costs. Some titles previously unavailable due to an inaccessible or unacceptable master can now become a
reality. We are also upping our monthly quota of releases from about three a
month to five or six or even more.
NORTH
AMERICAN RELEASES
Q. Will the releases of Blind
Woman’s Curse and Mark of the Devil have different extras etc.?
A. No, the releases will be
identical (apart from the certification info) so no need to double dip if
you’ve already purchased the UK edition!
Q. Will you be using the same
size boxes for your releases or will you use the slimmer US cases?
A. We will be using the same
size cases we use in the UK as we need the wider case width cases to
accommodate our booklets, the
thinner cases do not meet the tolerances of our manufacturer and we feel
continuity across the collection is important, where it can be maintained.
Q. So will all your US editions
be unrated?
A. They will indeed!
Q. Will all of your US titles be
released in the UK too?
A.
Q. Will your UK release of
<insert title name> now get a US
Arrow reissue?
A. Sadly not we are afraid as the
majority of titles we’ve released already have US rightsholders.
Q. Will we see Arrow Academy
titles in the US too?
A. Arrow Video will be the
only label we bring to the US.
Q. You include awesome postcards
in your UK releases, will these come with North American releases too?
A. As these postcards
advertise UK releases only (although there might be some overlap) we will only
be including them in our UK releases to begin with. We will aim to have
postcards in our North American releases in the near future!
ANNOUCEMENTS/PRE-ORDERS
Q. So how will your new title announcements work?
A. Our
announcements will feature both UK and US releases and will follow our standard
format (although
UK only releases will of course be highlighted!)
Q. Will
arrowvideo.com be the only site I can pre-order your titles from?
A. Our own website won’t be going live immediately but
initially our released will be available for pre-order from all the usual
outlets including Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and others. Please keep an eye on our social channels for
updates on this!
ARROW USA WEBSITE
Q. When will
your new site (www.arrowvideo.com) go live?
A. We are
working on this now and hope to have it live within the next couple of months
so keep an eye on our
social channels for updates
INDIEGOGO PLEDGERS
Q. I backed your campaign and want some more information
on what happens next. Can you fill me in?
A. We are working on a special newsletter that will go out
to all backers in the next few weeks which will contain all the info you need and more
so keep an eye on your inboxes!
COVENTIONS
AND EVENTS
Q. I
see you guys attend a few events and conventions in the UK – when
will we see you setting up Stateside?
A. For now our main focus is preparing our
releases and setting up in North America, but conventions are of course on our
list and when we’ll be attending we will be sure to shout about it!
GENERAL
Q. Will you also be coming to
[insert country]?
A. We only have plans to branch
out into the North American Market at present we are afraid!
Q. How can I get a job working at Arrow USA?
A. We do not have any openings at present unfortunately!
Q. What will happen to your
social media channels – will they change?
A. We will be keeping everything the same so if
interested…
