Gary Watson’s first venture into the 8mm market was in the guise of ‘Nostaw’ Film Services which was his surname written backwards, where he started selling films from his parents home, in Chingford London. Later he began trading as Cinema Entertainment Company, soon shortened to just CEC. He struck a deal with D.C.R. to re-release a few of his titles, and later went to Rank and picked up the rights to the animated Don Bluth film “Rock-a-Doodle” and the thriller set in the movie world “F/X – Murder by Illusion”. However poor sales would eventually lead him into other business interests, he’d already opened a Belgian Chocolate shop. He sold his stock of 8mm films and mailing list to Barry Attwood.
