The UK's Flynn Entertainment is relaunching its DVD label with the acquisition of Taiwan drama Spin Kid 電哪吒 (2011).

The film stars Blue LAN 藍正龍 as a young DJ and portrays his relationship with his policeman father who is investigating a drug deal that he has been implicated in. Head of acquisitions Steven Flynn describes the film as "visually stunning" and a "hot-blooded foreign thriller that explores the dark side of sacrifice".

Flynn Entertainment will release the film on DVD and VoD in the UK in October. It previously released WEI Te-sheng 魏德聖's Cape No. 7 海角七號 (2008) in Oct 2009. In the past three years, the company has concentrated on production and organising a small festival of Taiwan films that toured international cities.

Spin Kid is represented internationally by Double Edge Entertainment Co 得藝國際媒體股份有限公司. Flynn closed the deal with the film's producer, Billy HUNG 洪濬成. The distributor has half-a-dozen titles lined up for non-theatrical distribution in the coming months, including a Greek drama.

Flynn Entertainment was one of several UK distributors whose stock of DVDs was destroyed in a warehouse fire during the rioting in London in Aug 2011.
