Screenwriter Stuart Wright speaks to prolific UK horror filmmaker JASON IMPEY about his documentary VIPCO: THE UNTOLD STORY & 5 Great VIPCO Releases

VIPCO was the British distributor, who brought a wide and wild range of genre/horror films - video nasties as the tabloids tagged them - during the 1980s and 1990s. Founded and run by Michael Lee. Jason Impey's documentary brings Micheal, Mike to his friends, to fore to tell the story from his point of view with help from a plethora of cult film experts and academics who lend the work of VIPCO a 21st century importance the gutter press of the 1980s would be shocked to discover they helped create.
