Media

[edit]

HuffPost wrote, "If you think Wild Eye Releasing's techniques sound inspired by those of “B” movie king Roger Corman, you would be right. President Rob Hauschild is heavily inspired by the work and career of Corman", adding, "Corman is a spiritual father,” Rob says. “Many things can be learned from him about marketing a film, but what I learned most is to take a risk on new, emerging talent and to facilitate a launching pad for that talent into the larger industry.""[2]

Visual Vengence

In 2022, it was announced that Wild Eye Releasing had a new sister label, Visual Vengeance, a Blu-ray collector's distributor specializing in vintage genre independent films from the 1980s though the 2000s.[9][10]
