Thermidor Releasing is designed by its two principals (James Fotopoulos, Joe Carducci) to produce film and video. The first production is directed by James from a screenplay by Raymond Pettibon. The film is called, Untitled (Thanks. Get In...) It was shot in Los Angeles, November 2007. The second Thermidor production will be based on a script by Carducci called, Epsilon Indi, and will be directed by Fotopoulos.

Fotopoulos and Carducci have worked together since James sent Joe a tape of his first feature film, Zero (1997), which was released by Carducci's company Provisional in 2000, and subsequently by Facets. (Provisional also released four 1989 Pettibon films on tape in the mid-nineties.)

Thermidor is named for a record label Carducci ran with Jon Boshard in Berkeley, California in the early eighties. It has nothing to do with the month in the French Revolutionary calendar forever after associated with the blood-soaked reaction that ended the Enlightenment.
