E1 goes Down Under
E1 Entertainment is branching out into Australia and New Zealand following a deal with Brisbane-based Beyond Home Entertainment. E1 will distribute films and TV shows on DVD in both territories in partnership with the Aussie distributor. The deal was brokered by E1’s international home entertainment manager Billy Watson, who will also oversee things from his London office. There are no plans to move into theatrical releasing, though E1 has an eye on digital.
