Send us a text

This episode is part 1 of a three-part series with legendary home entertainment executive George Feltenstein.  We discuss George’s early career working with MGM/UA during the era of VHS, before getting into the development of extras on Laserdisc in the mid-1980s.  George also provides background on the swift consumer adoption of DVDs in the late 1990s and the increasing importance of extras to the home video market. He relates his vision in developing the concept of anniversary releases and the brand marketing of boxsets around directors and actors or genres. We also discuss the importance of film preservation and how that works hand in hand with the release of classic Hollywood films both for broadcast or in the home entertainment market.
