GoodFilmstrip Pictures

Background: GoodFilmstrip Pictures was the speciality movie division of Old Filmstrip Cinema established in 1990 to release films of a more "indie" flavor than its parent company. In 2005, Old Filmstrip teamed up with fellow Day Hesker subsidiary MBO Films to form Picture Avenue Films, a new specialty film label of which GoodFilmstrip was folded into.

(1990-2005)

Nicknames: "Abstract G", "G-Director's Block"

Logo: Over a black background, a thin, glowing horizontal blue filmstrip fades-in, dividing the screen in half. Then, a horizontal white filmstrip draws itself inside. The entire filmstrip rotates clockwise and shrinks a bit in the process. When the filmstrip becomes vertical, it rotates again, revealing an abstract "G" with a steelish tint. Then, from behind, a rectangle moves clockwise, and moves itself to the top of this "G" shape. It forms an angle, much like a director's block. Around the same time, a blue spotlight/circle backdrop forms behind this shape. The following text fades in:

(The G and F's look slightly bigger, and the line is sandwiched between 2 horizontal lines.)

The tops of both shapes shine afterwards. The respective company byline is seen below.

Bylines:

1990-1997: "A division of Old Filmstrip Cinema"

1997-2001, 2003: "A Day Hesker Company"

2001-2003: "An TMC Day Hesker Company"

Variant: In 2000, the words "10TH ANNIVERSARY: 1990-2000" spin around the logo, coming to a stop in an arc around the logo.

FX/SFX: Very nice CGI effects, similar to it's parent's logo, but also reminiscent of the Artist Entertainment "Turning AE" logo.

Music/Sounds: None. But on Head Above Water, it has a shortened version of the logo with the Cat Productions theme. Possibly an editing goof.

Availability: Scarce; seen on Independent/Art House films produced by the company.

Scare Factor: Low, it may look a little dark, but shouldn't scare many.
