In other goings-on, Anchor Bay has signed a joint venture with CameraPlanet Pictures to form the new "FeatureDoc" DVD label. This new imprint plans to release about twelve documentary titles per year, with the initial slate of six titles starting on October 26th and spread throughout the first quarter of 2005. Expect more on this, along with specific titles and acquisitions, soon.
