All the historical movie production companies, the distributors, but also later the TV stations, VHS brands, and current home video labels, along with some major names in spaghetti westerns (producers) could go on this list, and the relation to each other (who owns who, which company ended up being part of the other).
Ok help us out, post names missing, distribution and production companies missing, famous names and brands, home video labels, etc…
We need some volunteers to add the most important companies (old and new) to that directory. Can we find a volunteer for each country?
Germany
UK
USA
Italy
Spain
France
So have all the old production companies in there, the old distributors, major and indie production companies, the main producers, but also today’s companies, like DVD labels, etc.
To bump this, now that more and more film pages have “production and business” sections, we should also get a bit better in the SWDb with producers and production companies… the bigger ones could even have their own categories.
This project could use some helpers, it could add a lot of value to research and we could use the company names also to include them on the film pages etc and give a clearer picture of the industry landscape at the time.
I have been adding names of some major distributors and rights holders, you know those pesky copyright notices at the very end of BluRay back covers. They give most valuable info about who holds the actual rights to most of these spaghetti westerns. More help is welcome in making the SWDb a more useful resource to research distributors, production companies, but also producers, major names of the business, etc.
