Burbank, CA (PRWEB) October 09, 2014 -- Harmontown, the newly released documentary about TV Writer and Producer Dan Harmon (TV’s “Community” and “Rick and Morty”) and his podcast tour, will be available directly from Harmontown.com on October 10th. Fans will be able to purchase special edition packages with exclusives like Dan’s Birthday party, full-length recordings of all Harmontown shows featured on the 22-city tour, and the Extended Cut, along with bonus clips featuring celebrities like Eric Idle and Bobcat Goldthwait.
Specialized movie offerings on Harmontown.com will include a streaming only version of the film during EST (Electronic Sell-Through) and two special edition packages with over 50 hours of additional content, available at discounted pricing through November 7, 2014. International customers who purchase the film from the website will also receive a discount code for the special editions.
Both special editions will include a three-month membership to the re-launched site, which will feature live streaming video and purchasing options for upcoming Harmontown podcasts and merchandise. Of the direct sales initiative on Harmontown.com, Dan Harmon said, "The audio podcast will continue to be free and won't change, but technology will never stop changing, and I'm excited to exploit it, along with myself, for the benefit of fans. And also myself. Quite possibly mostly myself."
Direct film sales are a collaborative effort between Starburns Industries, Future You Pictures and VHX, a leading Internet sales platform behind other projects like Indie Game and Aziz Anzari’s Dangerously Delicious.
Harmontown is now available in select theaters and on VOD via The Orchard with EST partners including iTunes, Amazon and Xbox, and has already received a warm reception by fans and critics alike. Between exhaustive writing schedules for the next season of “Community”, Harmon is spending the weekends on tour promoting the theatrical release with accompanying sold out podcasts from Los Angeles to New York. Special guests on the promotional tour include Kumail Nanjiani, Bobcat Goldthwait, Gilbert Gottfried, Steve Agee and fellow Starburns Industries exec and writer Dino Stamatopoulos.
