Broadview Film Corporation

Background
Broadview Film Corporation was a film distribution company formed by actors Chester Newell, Paula Dennehy, Patty Van Houten, Eustace Hues and Wanda Morrow in response to trouble they faced with the distributor of one of their films. Broadview originally distributed foreign films and documentaries to film festivals, but later expanded to distributing horror and science fiction films, along with independent films that have a more bizarre edge. The company folded in 2015, with Newell and Dennehy going on to create Pretzel Entertainment.

1st Logo
(1989-2015)

Logo: On a black background, we see a white sketch of an open field with stars in the sky. "BROADVIEW" is below the image with "film corp" below the former word.

FX/SFX: None, aside from the fade in.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: In spite of a 26-year lifespan, it's near extinction. This only turned up on trailers for films Broadview acquired, few of which circulated.

2nd Logo
(1990-2015)

Logo: We zoom out from a field at twilight. The text from before zooms back and settles below as the field becomes letterboxed.

FX/SFX: The zooming.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on theatrical prints of films they distributed. Home media prints tend to omit this and now that Pretzel is re-issuing Broadview's films it's likely the logo will get plastered. Films this was shown on include the American dub of Lab Rats, At Sea, Ol' Hickory, Comeback, Smear, A Video Horror, Tapes and Vulnerable.
