This shows much more consideration for Hamish McAlpine and Tartan, who went on an acquisition spree just prior to going down the tubes. You have to figure they knew full well they were in trouble when they bought "Silent Light," "You the Living," "Import Export" "Taxidermia" and "Ex Drummer," films that will most likely never hit actual movie screens in the US now. Instead they'll inevitably go straight to video in some sort of tax write-off fire sale, all because Tartan couldn't publicly face up to its money woes, as THINKFilm has.
