Well when we picked our initial batch of films there was almost universal agreement that none would get though uncut but we figured you have to break some eggs to make an exploitation omelette...
We wouldn't try and put through something we thought had no chance on getting through uncut but there has to be some risk - it's just trying to be calculated about it. We can ask the BBFC informally but there's no guarantee that will translate into the decision we want. Our problem unlike the majors is once we've submitted a film by which time you've bought it and paid for it to all go ahead we have to release it to recoup - we can't just sit on it or it would kill us.
Interestingly NYR is uncut but has sold nearly twice as many as the next nearest title and we've not hidden the fact it's uncut - in fact we've even managed to make it sound more uncut than it is!
