Umbrelic Entertainment has announced the launch of Anchor Bay Entertainment, their new distribution arm. Co-founders Thomas Zambeck and Brian Katz aim to curate a diverse library of films for distribution, including new release genre films, cult classics, undiscovered treasures, and remastered catalog releases. The name 'Anchor Bay' pays homage to the iconic home media distributor that was beloved by fans of VHS tapes and horror DVDs in the '90s and 2000s.
Zambeck explains the significance of the name choice, stating, 'We had an opportunity to take the name of a beloved genre film brand, one we feel a personal connection to, for our new company. This is a new venture, unaffiliated with any previous incarnations. We aim to honor the history and spirit of the past as we look for interesting films that break the mold and will be discovered by new generations for years to come.'
