Crowdfund This: Indie Heroes Cult Epics Prepping Hardcover Guide To Cult Cinema

Cult Epics has long been one of our favorite home video distributors for their unwavering dedication to the darkest corners of upsetting and challenging cinema. From their releases of Radley Metzger's late '60s softcore masterpieces Score, The Lickerish Quartet, and Camille 2000, to their championing of German underground legend Jorg Buttgereit, to their astoung releases of disturbing classics like Agustin Villaronga's In a Glass Cage and Gerald Kargl's Angst, Cult Epics has never shied away from a challenging title, often introducing home video enthusiasts to films they may not have known existed.

Now, as they celebrate their 25th year, Cult Epics is getting ready to release their first book, a hardcover exploration of their legacy titled Cult Epics Comprehensive Guide to Cult Cinema. The book is largely laid out, but they do need some help finishing the product and they are offering some amazing perks for those in a position to help.

Among the perks of their IndieGoGo campaign are early copies of the book, signed books and/or Blu-ray discs, and even an exclusive limited edition Blu-ray of their upcoming release of Death Laid an Egg featuring the soundtrack on CD. All of the perks are very reasonably priced and ultimately, you're contributing to preserve the legacy of an important part of cinema history that needs to be remembered. Check out the further details below as well as their IndieGoGo pitch video.
