Hollywood Select Video

History

Hollywood Select Video was based in Chatsworth, California. The label was founded by Conrad Sprout in October 1986. Initially, until mid-1987, the first few slates of products from the label were distributed by Viking Entertainment Corporation. By 1987, Hollywood Select Video established its own mailing office to take on its own distribution.

Between 1989-1990, the company produced several documentary titles which were initially released on video by Burbank Video, which at that point was Viking Entertainment's sole home video division.

In the 1990s and early 2000s, while most releases from Hollywood Select Video were distributed by Timeless Multimedia Entertainment, itself also known as Timeless Video, some back catalog releases were distributed by Front Row Entertainment.
