He noted that while he had once planned on letting Media Blasters end as a company to pursue original productions through Fever Dreams, he decided to rebuild Media Blasters. Media Blasters' office moved last year to New York City and then it re-opened a warehouse and the Fever Dreams studio in Belleville, New Jersey.

Sirabella said that Media Blasters is again focusing on acquiring new titles and releasing them on DVD through New Media. Media Blasters also announced it has acquired the live-action Zombie 108 film for its Tokyo Shock label.
