Arrow Video to headline sponsor UK's Frightfest

Arrow Video have announced an agreement with FrightFest for a one-year partnership deal as the headline sponsor for the UK's biggest and most popular genre film festival.

Mike Hewitt, Brand Marketing Manager for Arrow Video, commented: "As a long-time fan of FrightFest, Arrow Video are incredibly excited to be partnered with FrightFest for a year-long sponsorship.

"The festival is without a doubt the UK's premiere genre event and is a perfect match for our premiere genre label, especially since we have been recently expanding our output to include fresh, new genre and horror films to bolster our incredible catalogue of classics. We are hugely looking forward to working with the FrightFest team to bring some exciting elements to 2018’s main event".

FrightFest co-director, Ian Rattray, was equally upbeat: "FrightFest is thrilled to welcome Arrow Video into the fold as our new headline sponsor. They have been a passionate supporter for many years, not just in terms of providing films and community support, but also as a key sponsor in recent years.

"We are delighted to welcome Mike and the rest of the Arrow team onboard to celebrate the horror fantasy genre on an even wider canvas than before, something followers of both of our brands will appreciate".

Arrow Video becomes the third headline sponsor in the festival's history, following in the footsteps of Film4 and Horror Channel.

Arrow Video FrightFest 2018 will house its annual 5-day August Bank Holiday event at the Cineworld Leicester Square and The Prince Charles Cinema from August 23rd to August 27th.
