Colin Fitz Lives! to Be Released on August 4 on Video on Demand
From the press information:
New York, NY (July 13, 2010) – Sundance Selects, a national video-on-demand platform for independent film in the documentary and world cinema categories, announced today that it has acquired rights to Colin Fitz Lives! A black comedy directed by Robert Bella, Colin Fitz Lives! previously premiered to critical and audience acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival in Dramatic Competition in 1997. It also played at festivals around the world including the Austin Film Festival, where it received the top prize for Best Feature Film as well as praise from Ain’t It Cool News’ Harry Knowles who dubbed it “a cult hit.” The Sundance Selects acquisition has brand new never-before-seen footage and newly discovered Colin Fitz musical recordings. Colin Fitz Lives! will be released nationwide on video-on-demand in more than 40 million homes beginning August 4th.
A charming, biting, and absurdist comedy inspired by American’s obsession with fame, rock ‘n’ roll and celebrity deaths, Colin Fitz Lives! centers on two eccentric security guards hired to guard the grave of a dead rock legend, the eponymous Colin Fitz. Echoing the canny madness of This Is Spinal Tap! and the deadpan worldview of Clerks, the film explores dead rock star mythology and post-modern romance, making a case for friendship in a world-gone-mad. The film’s ensemble cast includes stage and screen luminaries including William H. Macy (The Cooler), Martha Plimpton (“How to Make It In America”), Matt McGrath (The Notorious Bette Page), John C. McGinley (“Scrubs”) and Mary McCormack (“The West Wing”). Colin Fitz Lives! was written by Tom Morrissey with original music by Colin Fitz, Jason Downs and Matthew Puckett.
