Vestron Video
History[edit]
Vestron Video was originally formed in 1981 by Austin O. Furst Jr. and other Time-Life executives after Time-Life Films shuttered down. Vestron reissued most of the former Time-Life Video releases, most of them were previously only available through the Time-Life Video Club mail-order service. Also, Vestron Video International was formed to handle international video distribution of its titles.
The company expanded with four other sublabels, Wonderlust Video in 1982, dedicated to adult films, Children's Video Library in 1983, dedicated to children's films, Vestron Music Video for music titles, and Lightning Video in 1985, dedicated to B-movies.
The company would later sign agreements with Penthouse in 1983 to form the Penthouse Video line for adult media, as well as National Geographic in 1986 via the National Geographic Video line, and WGBH in 1988 for releasing Nova episodes. The company originally had good relations with Home Box Office, distributing HBO titles, as well as Orion titles, of which HBO had interest. Both HBO and Orion would later leave Vestron in 1984 when HBO became partnered in Thorn EMI Video's US arm to form Thorn EMI/HBO Video.
Vestron, Inc. expanded its holdings beyond video to form Vestron Pictures in 1985 for motion pictures, as well as the Lightning Pictures label for associated genre pictures, Interaccess Film Distribution, later Vestron International Group for foreign sales, and Vestron Television for television distribution.
Vestron, Inc. would file for bankruptcy protection in 1989, and two years later, it was sold to LIVE Entertainment in 1991.
