Code Red DVD.

Back in 2007 I was in talks with William Olsen from Code Red DVD (www.codereddvd.com) about doing their DVD covers since they were splitting from their distribution deal with Media Blasters. We were planning the layouts for Boardinghouse and A Day At The Beach... discussing removing fold lines from the Boardinghouse poster that he had, finding poster art for A Day At The Beach. Then one day Bill e-mailed me to tell me that their new distributor BCI wanted their designer to handle the upcoming Code Red layouts. I was disappointed, but understood that it was out of his hands. Over at BCI there was guy named Cliff MacMillan and he would be responsible for bringing a great deal of good titles to BCI. Since then BCI has folded and Cliff works for Shout! Factory. I've picked up some of Code Red's titles and dig each of them. Recently I bought Sole Survivor off of eBay. On the back cover I noticed this credit "Layout and graphic design: Dana MacMillan". I wonder why BCI didn't want me involved? Oh well. That's just the way things work out in life.
