Episode 57 is out! Link in bio.
In episode 57, @eliolsberg @celestedelacabra and @personalhistoryoffilm get an amazing opportunity to interview one of the legends of physical media and erotica, @stevenmorowitz .
This interview became a history lesson for @vinegarsyndrome , a course in @distribpix and @melusinex and an all around all-time conversation giving a behind the scenes glimpse into what it’s actually like to run a distribution company and archive. I was not expecting so many moving trucks.
Coming up we have our annual discussion planned around the Black Friday sale, and we’re looking to schedule a few more exciting interviews to end the year strong.
As always, thanks to all who listen and please let us know how to make this podcast better. We really appreciate your support!

“Relocating The Film Archive Part 2- Shelving Our Gold!”
Finalizing the move day 2 and 3- And the shelving has begun!!
With a total of eight truckloads and almost 200 pallets we have now completed the move north to our new archive. A very small and dedicated team working 12 to 16 hour days moving these huge blocks of film elements.
Now the films are resting in our staging vault and eagerly awaiting the shelving process, where we will bring the pallets into our deep storage vault in order-by collection, one at a time. Then breakdown the elements and shelve them.
The deep storage vault is currently being cooled by our state-of-the-art turbo freeze, refrigeration system and currently held at around 50° with around 35 to 40% humidity.
In two days, we have shelved approximately 60 pallets. It is amazing to be reunited with all of our valuable film negatives, and be able to touch them again and place them on the shelves, knowing that they are in the best possible spot for long term preservation. This just might be the greatest film archive, created with so much passion and love.
I’m so grateful to be leading up this experience and have such a wonderful team of unselfish, and dedicated individuals.
I will admit my body is hurting, at almost 54 years old, the long days of moving tons and tons of film is tougher than it used to be.
An absolutely incredible process, I’ve been doing this for about 25 years and this is one of the most satisfying events I’ve ever experienced.
Thank you as always to Ryan, Ralph and Joe for trusting me with our gems!!💎

From The Archives - “ A Monumental Film Relocation”
While the brand new Distribpix & Vinegar Syndrome film archive is almost ready, it was finally time to begin to move the film. Almost 200 pallets of film elements with an estimated weight of 400,000 pounds, we have quite a monumental task ahead of us. The entire breakdown of the current archive was carefully planned and executed many months ago and the film has been kept in cold storage awaiting this moment. The move is approximately 50 miles north to our brand new location. It’s approximately eight trips with a 53 foot trailer. Today we moved the first 75 pallets. Incredibly hard work, but another step in the right direction toward the ultimate goal of proper film preservation.
These film pallets are chock full of everything from 35mm action and horror, to sexploitation and erotica, from 16mm industrials and educational films, to documentaries and experimental movies, with plenty of lost films in between- some which have been on TV or in the theater but never on home video, others waiting to be discovered.
Special shout out to Tevin, Randy and Justin C.
Thank you to Ralph, Ryan and Joe for always trusting me! This one is big!!

The films in Bridgeport eagerly anticipating their short journey north to the brand new Distribpix and Vinegar Syndrome Film Vault.
Each pallet is approximately 1750 pounds. Carefully and meticulously packed with layers of cardboard between stacks of elements, ideal for padding any shock from transport as well as separating elements. This is a method I have practiced and insisted be brought to our company. Now it’s a standard for our film stacks.

It takes about 40 minutes to load a 53 foot trailer. Each truckload is 24 pallets.

Mining For Lost Films-“Preserving a west coast legacy”……
Yet Another Distribpix and Vinegar Syndrome Film Preservation Effort!!
Over the past year I have been working with my colleague Joe Rubin to help save and preserve an important film collection.
Located in North Las Vegas about 20 minutes from the strip, this large collection has been intact for over 40 years and boasts some of the most well known films of all time. Unfortunately, the hot desert air, fluctuating temperatures, years of improper storage and a crumbling building has made this effort a priority.
I started this archival expedition in Aug of 2025 where several “thought to be lost” films were recovered, and again returned to the desert in October 2025 with Joe to assess and retrieve a much larger portion of the known film elements , mostly the original camera negatives.
This past year has been more than hectic for our company dealing with tight production deadlines and building the new archive- but it was imperative to return to Vegas and finish the job I started.
So this past week was literally spent packing the remaining material in the warehouse, 20 pallets total! We went through every inch of this place! Several challenges were encountered- one of the main problems was emptying a 40 foot container by hand- one film at a time, a task I somehow completed in 12 hours. Secondly, we had one day of heavy rain which came pouring through the warehouse ceiling, and yet another speed bump was having to fix an ailing forklift- but a new battery, propane tank refill and a quart of oil gave it the life needed to help load the truck and get this job done.
So now- a few dozen rare titles , a couple of lost films, several hundred complete 35mm and 16mm prints, 2 pallets of original art material and other ephemera are all headed back to our brand new archive in Connecticut to be inspected and archived for preservation.
Lots of planning went into this trip, it was an incredible week of hard work and dedication, but we pulled it off. For me, one of the most satisfying parts of these film expeditions is coming back with elements you had no clue ever existed.
It’s like digging for lost treasure.

3 years ago on this day we lost a great person, a smart man and a leader on many fronts with a larger than life persona. Distribpix co-founder, Arthur Morowitz, a legend in the film and home video entertainment industry, often referred to as the godfather of video. He was proud of his creations and the mini empire he built. From Distribpix, to Video Shack, to Metro Distribution, to Coliseum Video, to Champion Stamp and Banknote plus so much more.

As hardcore releases began to dominate the 70s, soft-X movies faced a trying time. Many of these efforts appeared overly tame for their day and vanished as quickly as they were produced, all too often becoming forgotten, abandoned, or otherwise lost to time.
Presented here are three very distinct, striking examples of long-believed lost sexploitation cinema, all produced in New York in the early '70s, and at last resurrected and restored in 4K for their home video debuts.
@Distribpix is thrilled to present SIDEWALK COWBOY (1970), FUN AND GAMES (1972), and HAPPILY EVER AFTER (1974) along with a thrilling mini-doc about the entire process of hunting down and saving lost films in THE LOST SEXPLOITATION TRIPLE FEATURE!

The Lost Sexploitation Triple Feature
From a physical media perspective, a lost film is widely considered to have been available in theatrical form but then basically disappeared from the public eye, often lost forever. If you’re a fan of cult exploitation cinema and enjoy rarities, this set is bound to please. Presented here are three very distinct, striking examples of long-believed sexploitation cinema, all produced in New York in the early ‘70s, and at last resurrected and restored in 4k for their home video debuts. SIDEWALK COWBOY (1970), FUN AND GAMES (1972) AND HAPPILY EVER AFTER (1974). Along with the three lost films we are also showcasing a brand new mini documentary titled “Mining Lost Films”. This incredibly informative inside look at how we discover and unearth lost films, including the ones in this set, is jam-packed with never-before-seen video footage and photos from the past 20 years. Steven Morowitz, owner of Distribpix, discusses lost films and takes us on a mini tour of some of the most exciting expeditions his team has embarked on since 2008. He also covers what goes into moving huge collections across the country, as well as organizing and archiving them and gives us some wonderful history of Distribpix, MovieLab, Something Weird Video and more. Part of a much larger project in the works, this 30-minute teaser adventure is both exciting and informative, and it’s worth the price of admission. This package is now available at www.vinegarsyndrome.com

In SIDEWALK COWBOY (1970), a wayward young man enters a spiral of sexual confusion and misfortune as he’s abused, debased, molested, and taken advantage of by man and woman alike in this bent riff on Midnight Cowboy. Directed by the great producer Robert Sumner (Take Off, The Nesting), it makes great use of many of the lyrical streetscapes of Manhattan, as well as the prolific Linda Boyce (The Curse of her Flesh).
A square middle-aged couple accidentally discover Screw Magazine in FUN AND GAMES (1972), which takes them on an outrageous journey of sexual liberation through all manner of freaks and hustlers (and one very angry cop) in New York’s free love scene. Helmed by acclaimed Broadway writer/director Mervyn Nelson and featuring Casey Donovan (as Cal Culver) in an early role, this sprawling underground comedy was initially distributed by Radley Metzger!
Driven mad from a brutal assault during her college years, a young woman and her simpering, bloodthirsty admirer embark on a sex-fueled murder spree in 1974’s absolutely bonkers HAPPILY EVER EVER! Starring Mary Mendum (The Image) in one of her most impressive performances, strikingly photographed by João Fernandes (Invasion U.S.A.), and written & directed by Ron Wertheim (Through the Looking Glass), this genuinely unnerving and often disturbing genre treasure is long overdue for cult classic status.
2-Disc Region Free Blu-ray.
SIDEWALK COWBOY (74 min) and FUN AND GAMES (86 min) are newly restored in 4K from their original 35mm camera negatives.
HAPPILY EVER AFTER (79 min) is newly restored in 4K from the final edited blow-up CRI.
All three films are presented with their original mono audio soundtrack.
“Memories of Happily Ever After” interview with producer Don Walters.
“From The Archives: Mining For Lost Film” featurette- an amazing half hour mini documentary hosted by Distribpix owner, Steven Morowitz.
Original theatrical trailers for Sidewalk Cowboy and Happily Ever After.

Candy Stripers(1978), directed by Bob Chinn and produced by Pacific Coast Films. This one is a scorcher. Besides the fact that a 4K restoration was done from the uncut original camera negative, we are offering an incredibly packed lineup-including a wonderful brand new two camera video interview with Director Bob Chinn, a brand new audio interview with the legendary Howie Gordon aka Richard Pacheco, an exhaustive selection of outtakes and trims from the camera negative, a video featurette which takes a closer look at the film elements for Candy stripers , a well written liner notes-booklet by Bob Chinn expert Patrick Crain, set also includes a double-sided 11x17 replica one-sheets (US and German) and so much more.
Of course, not to forget the gorgeous custom slip cover art created by the insanely talented Robert Sammelin. One of our best releases to date!
Quite a bit of love and work went into this effort- Special Thanks to everyone involved!!
