Ithaqua is the first Hammer Presents / Kaleidoscope partnership and, with creative, finance, sales and distribution truly part of the same team, it is a sign of great things to come. For John Gore, Hilary Strong, Jonathan Lack and Jamie Anderson from the Group to support our belief in this project and come on board so quickly, at such a critical time, we really have made something happen that probably couldn't have happened anywhere else. I believe our ability to do this will help the Studios stand out in today's film and television world."
Spencer Pollard
CEO of Kaleidoscope
“Joining John Gore Studios has opened an exciting new chapter for Silver Salt Restoration, allowing us to focus on increasing capacity and quality to meet rising demand. What has made John Gore Studios such a perfect fit is the realisation that working in such high resolution, these films may never be restored again, therefore quality and film conservation play a big part in what drives us. John Gore Studios shares the same values for excellence and respect for the audience."
