California Video Distributors

From Home Video

History[edit]

California Video Distributors was a home video distributor established by Noel C. Bloom in the early 1980s. It primarily served as distributor of product from International Video Entertainment, including titles from Family Home Entertainment after taking the line from MGM/UA, as well as Caballero Control Corporation, but California Video Distributors distributed the Hollywood Movie Greats line as well as pornographic product in addition to Caballero and IVE fare. In 1986, Bloom divested many of the assets. IVE was sold to Carolco Pictures, while the Hollywood Movie Greats stable was sold to GoodTimes Home Video. Bloom used his funds to start his company Celebrity Home Entertainment.
