When COVID-19 was closing everything in 2020, Imprint Films, a premium sub-label of Via Vision Entertainment, emerged and physical media in Australia has since been all the better for it.
Contrary to what the title suggests, Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead, is not a morbid advertisement for the ‘Mile-High City’, but rather a slick crime/drama made in post-Pulp Fiction Hollywood that’s currently available on Blu-ray from the boutique label, Imprint Films, title number 144.

Out now on Blu-ray from Imprint Films, this seminal and influential genre classic is being celebrated once again by critics and fans alike. When a mafia

Murder was the theme of Imprint Films’ April bundle, from the overwhelmingly popular The Wicker Man to the previously hard-to-find cult thriller, Man on a Swing; starring Joel Grey in a chilling post-Oscar performance opposite all-American leading man, Cliff Robertson. Lifted for the grisly annals of true crime, more specifically The Girl on the Volkswagen

Dalton Trumbo was a prolific screenwriter famously blacklisted with nine other industry professionals by the House Un-American Activities Committee. Many years after his exile, and understandably jaded, but no less talented Trumbo, adapted his 1939 anti-war novel, Johnny Got His Gun for the big screen, sitting in the director’s chair for the first time.
