WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT IS YOUR JOB AT ARROW?

I assist with the marketing side of things at Arrow across the entirety of Arrow Films from our theatrical films to our Nordic Noir brand so have to make sure I am up always up to date with our growing catalogue of releases.

Meet the Team - Marc Foley-Comer



WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT IS YOUR JOB AT ARROW?

I oversee all the PR activity across the company, for both Arrow Films and Arrow Video. Around four-to-six weeks prior to each Arrow Video release, I’ll press release the specific title out wide to our database, and from thereon in I focus on mass review coverage in both off- and online publications. Coverage can vary as far-and-wide as The Guardian Guide to a YouTube vlogger doing an unboxing of the Blu-ray

Read It and Weep: Nekromantik officially classified!

 

Shocked. Astounded. Flabbergasted. These are all words that could be used to describe your reaction when we announced last week that we would be bringing Jörg Buttgereit's grimy 1987 underground classic Nekromantik to UK home video for the very first time later this year - fully uncut. Many were asking, "How on Earth did you get it past the BBFC?!" Others simply declared: "You'll never get this past the BBFC uncut!"  

Well, ye of little faith, this morning we officially accepted the '18' category for Nekromantik and the title is now searchable on the BBFC website: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/nekromantik-1987Go ahead, take a look - as they say, seeing is believing!
