Violent Velcro is a new digital film company specialising in digital feature films. As a company they have decided not to produce anything on 35mm (they do their telecine on 35mm though), preferring to focus on DV or high definition as they believe this is the future. Violent Velcro plans to produce two big budget features this year on high definition. Strange James is David Reid's first feature as writer/director.
