Written and directed by NYC art scene and exploitation cinema luminary Paul Morrissey, MIXED BLOOD is a characteristically grimy descent into urban malaise that is often punctuated by moments of gallows humor. Featuring an eclectic ensemble cast that includes Warhol superstar Geraldine Smith and the screen debut of John Leguizamo, MIXED BLOOD is an essential (if often overlooked) entry into the canon of independent films made on the streets of New York in the 1980s. Gartenberg Media is proud to present the new 4K digital restoration of Morrissey’s indelible crime comedy, produced by Cinématographe from its original camera negative.

Directed by noted television and Broadway producer Joseph Cates and co-written by Arnold Drake, WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR? is a lurid time capsule of mid-1960s Times Square, evocatively shot on location, in stark black and white, by Joseph C. Brun. Peerlessly ahead of its time for 1965, Gartenberg Media Enterprises is proud to distribute Joseph Cates’ seminal New York City thriller in its completely uncensored form, produced in 4K by Cinématographe, which reconstitutes several minutes of never-on-video footage, newly restored from original 35mm negative materials.
