EBERT-APPROVED

This week The Off Hours hit a notable milestone--we were tweeted about by Roger Ebert!  Writer Jeff Shannon wrote an article for Ebert's VOD column about the film which was thoughtful and lovely and which has been making quite the rounds in the social networking sphere.  Jeff also touted the phenomenal Seattle filmmaking community and several other local filmmakers, including our consulting producer Lynn Shelton.  We were beyond thrilled to feel the acknowledgement of both Jeff Shannon and Roger Ebert, and we'll be saving this image for a good, long while:

VOD RELEASE

THE OFF HOURS is available On Demand!!  Simply look in the "Movies" section of your On Demand menu and find the "Film Movement" folder in the Independent Film menu ("Indies and Foreign" on Comcast). We will be available through COMCAST, VERIZON, AT&T, and most major cable networks.  Unfortunately, THE OFF HOURS is not available on DirecTV. We should be available on Hulu beginning in May 2012.  We do not yet have a release date for Netflix, but you can help show them that there is a demand for the film by finding THE OFF HOURS page (search by our name) and adding the film to your queue, rating it highly and, if you want to really help, write a (good) review!  You can also rate and review the film positively at IMDB.com. Industry folks put stock in ratings and reviews, so this is a great way to help THE OFF HOURS see a wider release.  Thanks so much everyone! Very excited to get THE OFF HOURS into your homes!

INDIE SPIRIT AWARD NOMINATION

This morning Kate Beckinsale and Anthony Mackie announced the 2012 Independent Spirit Award nominees, which included a cinematography nod for our own Benjamin Kasulke for his much-lauded work on The Off Hours.  Ben's in some illustrious company, including Darius Khondji, an Oscar-nominated DP who's up for his work on Woody Allen's new film Midnight in Paris.  We're stoked for Ben and will be rooting for him when the winners are announced in February!

DISTRIBUTION NEWS

We are thrilled to announce that THE OFF HOURS will soon be released in theaters, on VOD, and through a variety of digital platforms!  This announcement is the culmination of many, many years of hard work, passion, and diligence, and we are grateful to everyone who has supported and nurtured the film along it's long and winding path.

New York-based company Baxter Brothers will be handling our theatrical release in partnership with Cinemad Presents.  The film will not have a traditional release, but will be programmed at independent theaters around the country over the course of the next several months.  

Film Movement will release the film in homes everywhere on most major VOD platforms (Comcast, Time Warner, etc) beginning on December 9th and then on digital platforms such as iTunes and Amazon soon afterwards. 

Stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter accounts to find out details about when THE OFF HOURS will come to your local theater, your living room & your laptop!
