In a Category All Their Own: TOP MOVIES I WAS INVOLVED WITH IN 2022

Every year I make lists of my favorite movies I saw that year, but then there are the movies I, myself, worked on, was involved with, or made. Since these are separate from movies I saw and watched as a viewer, these belong in a category all their own.

Here are the Top Movies I Was Involved with in 2022:

1. Life on the V: The Story of V66 (Cruising In The Van Prod.)

Director / Writer / Producer / Editor / Additional Photography

My documentary about V66, the 1980s music video TV channel, Life on the V made its World Premiere in April 2014 at Independent Film Festival Boston and had several film festival screenings and indie cinema screenings since. In addition to some great reviews and awards, it was released on DVD and home entertainment from MVD Entertainment Group in 2015. In the Fall 2022, the doc was added to the Permanent Collection of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Library and Archives (Cleveland).

MVD Rewind Collection Set to Launch with ‘D.O.A.: A Right of Passage’ and ‘Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!’

MVD Entertainment Group is proud to announce the launch of the "MVD Rewind Collection" series celebrating "cult classics and more from the video store" in special edition Blu-ray + DVD collector's sets loaded with special features. Scheduled to debut December 2017 , the MVD Rewind Collection will launch with special editions of the never-before-released-on-disc punk rock doc classic D.O.A.: A Right of Passage along with Attack of The Killer Tomatoes on two-disc collector's sets.

MVD Rewind Collection #1 coming on December 8, 2017...

D.O.A.: A Right of Passage

D.O.A.: A Right of Passage is the ground-breaking classic "rockumentary" about the origin of punk rock. Centered around the Sex Pistols 1978 tour of the United States which ended with the group breaking up, the tour was the only one the Pistols played in the United States.

Director Lech Kowalski (East of Paradise) followed the band with handheld cameras through the clubs and bars of their seven-city U.S. tour. Mixing this with footage of other contemporary bands, trends in the fashion capitals and punks of all shapes and colors, Kowalski captured a grainy, stained snapshot of the punk movement at its peak (which includes the now famous footage of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen in bed) along with rare interview and concert footage of the late seventies punk rock music scene.

With live performances by the Sex Pistols, The Dead Boys, Generation X (with Billy Idol), The Rich Kids, the X-Ray Spex, and Sham 69, along with additional music from The Clash and Iggy Pop, this iconic documentary is now available for the first time ever on home video in this 2-Disc set!

UFOs! Bigfoot! Communists! The government has swiftly dealt with many a crisis... But can it survive the diabolical ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES?

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the supermarket, you're face to face with terror so bold, so frightening it has never been seen on-screen before or since (not until the sequel, anyway).

After a series of bizarre and increasingly horrific attacks from pulpy, red, seeded fruit, Mason Dixon (David Miller) finds himself leading a "crack" team of specialists to save the planet. But will they be quick enough to save everyone? To save you?

You can't run! You can't swim! There's nowhere to hide!

The killer tomatoes are everywhere!

The MVD Rewind Collection is the brainchild of MVD Entertainment Group's Eric D. Wilkinson and the home entertainment team. Wilkinson not only manages acquisitions for MVD, but is also personally overseeing this new line of product for the company...

"Having spent the last year curating and pouring over every last excruciating detail of these releases, I'm really excited to share these with fellow collectors. Most of these will be on Blu-ray disc for the first time here in North America and some of these (like D.O.A.) have never been released on any format. Each of these numbered collector's edition sets will include plenty bonus material and supplemental features. Our plan here at MVD is to approach the "Rewind Collection" not just as packaged media releases, but also like the popular, collectible trend category. With video stores being a relic of the past, collectors are building their own libraries and are now basically turning their basements into their own, personal video stores. Our goal is to create something that you can display right alongside your action figures, posters, figurines and collectibles. We intend to use original artwork (either the theatrical or original VHS key art) on all of our releases whenever possible (unless it's really, really bad). Each release with have a limited-edition slipcover that will have a stylized, weathered look as if it's been sitting on a video store shelf for years, complete with wear and tear, stickers and more. In addition, our titles will include a four-fold mini poster of the cover art on the inside too. Most collectors like me, attend cons, autograph shows or horror conventions and it's nice to have a frame-ready poster to get signed. Some of our releases will include reversible artwork; some may have booklets with liner notes along other collectible goodies. And the MVD Rewind Collection isn't just focusing on one genre. The MVD Rewind collection will encompass ALL genres. If its "classic" (and I can get it) we'll try to put it out! I'm a dedicated collector of movies on disc, with over 8,000 plus discs in my collection and I want collectors to know that the MVD Rewind Collection Blu-ray + DVD sets are being overseen by a collector and I will do my best to create the kind of releases you will look forward to adding to your collection every month."

MVD Entertainment Group is a full service music and movie distribution firm, exclusively representing thousands of audio and visual products for DVD, Blu-ray, CD, vinyl, and digital rights, worldwide. MVD also exclusively distributes a growing line of merchandise including limited edition collectibles, tee shirts, and more.

MVD works with a variety of up-and-coming platforms and is actively pursuing new relationships.

She doesn’t want to go to the police, because she’s afraid her affair will be discovered, but the killer continues his murderous spree. What will Tomoko do to hide her torrid secret? Can she escape the hands of the murderer? The first entry in Nikkatsu’s famous “ZOOM UP” adult series, ZOOM UP: MURDER SITE is a dark, violent film that’s described as “…a collection of staggeringly repulsive murders, perhaps the most sadistic ever generated on film…The words misogynist and mean-spirited can barely describe the atrocities on hand” (Thomas and Yuko Mihara Weisser, JAPANESE CINEMA ENCYCLOPEDIA).

When he was a child, Makoto remembers shooting a soldier whom he found having sex with his mother. The elderly man who owns the company Makoto works for has an interest in BDSM and wants Makoto to kidnap and “train” his wife (Naomi Tani) to submit to him. With Makoto battling the demons of his past and unsure of the consequences of his own sexual awakening, what transpires is one of the most shocking, perverse and jaw-dropping Nikkatsu films ever made.

A fight with a rival cell block starts a bloody and vicious war in the jail… one where the warden and guards seek vengeance on the women with brutal torture and sexual humiliation. When a new inmate arrives and Mayumi recognizes her, all hell breaks loose!

Eric D.

I’m a geek for video store culture and our packaging reflects that. It gives fans that lived through the video store era an opportunity to enjoy the nostalgia, and for our younger collectors, they get to experience these for the very first time, just as they were.”

MVD Entertainment Group is thrilled to announce the acquisition of the North American rights to "My Love Affair With Marriage," an award-winning animated feature by the renowned writer-director Signe Baumane. Set for a multi-platform release including digital, video on demand, and physical media in September 2024, this film features the voices of Dagmara Dominczyk, Matthew Modine, Michele Pawk, Stephen Lang, and Cameron Monaghan. "My Love Affair With Marriage" weaves the captivating tale of Zelma, voiced by Dominczyk, as she explores her evolving understanding of love and marriage through a succession of romantic encounters. Set against the backdrop of significant historical events in Eastern Europe, the film delves deep into Zelma's personal battles with passion, disillusionment, and self-discovery. Through a unique blend of humor, musical numbers, and stark honesty, the film tackles profound themes such as gender norms, domestic violence, and the pursuit of independence. After its premiere at the Tribeca Festival in June 2022, the film has been showcased at over 110 film festivals globally, winning 25 awards. Baumane, alongside her life partner and producer Sturgis Warner, embarked on a 24-city U.S. tour, engaging with audiences through Q&As and sharing original drawings from the film. The making of this Latvian / USA / Luxembourg co-production spanned seven years, supported by nearly 1,700 individual donors and various cultural grants. Eric D. Wilkinson, Director of Acquisitions at MVD Entertainment Group, expressed his enthusiasm for the film: "The moment I saw the film, I immediately fell in love with it. The groundbreaking animation, story, music, humor, and universal themes all resonated with me. This is an important and critically acclaimed movie that film lovers need to see, and I’m proud to be bringing this to audiences this fall." Critics have lauded "My Love Affair With Marriage" for its innovative approach and emotional depth, with accolades such as a New York Times "Critic’s Pick" and high praise from The Hollywood Reporter and RogerEbert.com. As we anticipate the release, "My Love Affair With Marriage" promises to offer a universal story that resonates across cultures and genders, exploring the eternal quest for love and happiness amidst personal and societal challenges.
