Trouble Is My Business Rare Indie Blu-Ray

Still, indies often have to navigate digital and physical rights and plan format distribution for smaller titles on a case by case basis. While most everything Random Media acquires is intended for digital platforms, up until the release of Trouble Is My Business — its first Blu-ray — the company had preferred to release its titles physically only on DVD. “I just think narrative films that aren’t heavily influenced by special effects or have a lot of action are better suited to DVD,” says Eric Doctorow, Random Media CEO and founder. “DVD presents a terrific viewing experience.” Trouble Is My Business, which came out in April, is a 1940s noir story. “The look of the film” was what prompted Doctorow to release it on Blu-ray. “It’s beautifully shot. It’s got a lot of action,” he says. “Noir films as a genre have a very loyal audience. They are film lovers.”
