Burbank, CA (PRWEB) May 20, 2014 -- “Harmontown”, director Neil Berkeley’s feature-length documentary film based on TV writer/producer Dan Harmon’s popular weekly podcast, has been named an official selection of the 2014 Los Angeles Film Festival, presented by Film Independent.

"Perverse, uncensored, deeply nerdy, and spit-take hilarious." -Rolling Stone

Post this

“Harmontown” is a comedic, brutally honest documentary following Dan Harmon (NBC's "Community", Adult Swim’s “Rick and Morty”) as he takes his live podcast on a national tour. The film joins Harmon, long time friend Jeff B. Davis (Whose Line is it Anyway), regular guest Erin McGathy (This Feels Terrible) and Game Master Spencer Crittenden as they bring live, town hall style rants to sold-out audiences around the country.

An intimate and revealing look into the life and headspace of a classic tortured creative, “Harmontown” gives filmmaker Neil Berkeley unfiltered access. Dan Harmon takes himself on a journey of self-discovery and the film finds him uncharacteristically opening up on camera.

A co-production of Starburns Industries and Future You Pictures, the film marks director Neil Berkeley’s second feature-length documentary. "Beauty is Embarrassing", a documentary about artist Wayne White, premiered at SXSW in 2012 to critical acclaim. Dan Harmon and Neil Berkeley will be available for interviews.

Screening:

Monday, June 16th at 7:30PM
LACMA, Bing Theater

The podcast quickly grew in popularity and gained a cult following, with nearly a hundred thousand devoted listeners downloading each week’s episode.
