Yuzna and Penney have a combined thirty plus years of film experience. Yuzna, an award-winning pioneer of genre and progressive FX work, has written, produced, and directed an impressive range of titles, including Re-Animator, Society, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, and Necronomicon.
John Penney is an award-winning filmmaker, writing and directing projects like Zyzzyx Road, the supernatural thriller Hellgate, Return of The Living Dead 3, The Kindred, Amphibious 3D, and Contaminated Man.
John Penney stated, he was "excited by this new step that Dark Arts Entertainment is taking into distribution. We are always looking for emerging genre filmmakers with film that can be shaped for marketplace success. This new partnership with MVD is the perfect fit for our expanding endeavor.”
Eric D. Wilkinson, Director of Acquisitions for MVD, added, "Having survived my youth on a steady diet of Brian’s and John's films in the 80's and 90's during my countless trips to the video store, I cannot express my excitement enough to be working with two of the greatest legends of genre films. MVD is thrilled to be partnering with Dark Arts Entertainment and we look forward to bringing not only their carefully curated slate of new films to the market, but also some of their great cult classic catalog titles as well. Welcome to MVD!"
The deal was negotiated by Brian Yuzna and John Penney on behalf of Dark Arts Entertainment, and by Eric D. Wilkinson and Zach Fischel on behalf of MVD Entertainment Group. This new distribution company is exciting news to say the least. As a fans of physical media, I look forward to seeing what is coming ahead for Dark Arts Entertainment and MVD partnership.
