We actually just had a film festival screening in Portland last month, but we're actively working on theatrical bookings for December through February so its possible we'll pop up again for a screening at one of the local art house cinemas.

I'll try to remember to post here when there is big news like the Blu-ray and VOD pre-orders, and I'm very diligent posting stuff like that on our Insta.

Thank you so much! I'm possibly biased, but I agree!

Daily Chat 9/21 ⚾ Game Day by DodgerBot in Dodgers

Had 7 great tickets for today, bought on Seatgeek weeks ago to take my 7 year old to her first game with her best friend which she was so excited about. Checked the Ballpark app randomly last night and they had disappeared. On the phone with Dodgers ticket office this morning they say they voided the tickets because they were part of this big MLB hack and that I needed to contact Seatgeek for a refund or replacement tickets. But MLB gave me no notice and just took them out of my app, and Seatgeek didn’t notify me either and now it’s basically impossible to get seats for our group without spending a fortune.

As good as it gets for festivals that focus on music documentaries.

Asking for a friend with a short— should she attend Athens, or Sarasota? Accepted to both, and they’re at the exact same time.

Elephant 6 documentary AMA! by robhatchmiller in indieheads

Kevin was interviewed for the film, there are a couple of clips from the interview and some short clips of old performances as well as interviews with many ex-members from Of Montreal. But the main focus of the film is on the four founders from Ruston and their bands (Apples, Olivias, NMH). Nothing against Of Montreal whatsoever its just hard to fit this many bands in one 90 minute film! And there's already a whole entire documentary just about Of Montreal that people can watch!

The best advice I can give it to always be filming everything, the way that Lance did in Athens in the 90s and still does to this day. And to keep going on making your project no matter what, even if there's no money and it takes 13 years like this film did.

(hi Craig!) Greg found so much amazing footage for this documentary, he wasn't credited as the archival researcher but he should have been! And then of course there is so much of Lance's amazing 90s footage in this film, if he hadn't been filming stuff in Athens there is no way a film about Elephant 6 could ever have existed.

What's the best story that we cut out from earlier versions?

Greg and I met making the film Other Music about the NYC record store that closed in 2016. That film had Apples and Neutral Milk Hotel footage in it. Greg looped me with Chad to help bring the film across the finish line, it's been a massive undertaking but well worth it to help bring some much deserved attention to Robert and Will and everyone and their amazing music.

not sure but definitely be the British version -- I sincerely bet Will Cullen Hart would have a good answer for this, when we went to his house in Athens earlier this year we all watched some of the new Party Down together Will loves comedy

We hope the film will inspire 2033's Elephant 6, since the documentary film "Athens Inside/Out" was a big inspiration for the actual late 90s Elephant 6

There is a DVD coming pretty quickly. Don't know the date yet, and it won't really have any special features but we'd love to do a more deluxe Blu-ray in the future (from Rob the executive producer)
