Even though his creation Community is lesser known in the UK, his impact is huge in the States and Dan Harmon is also considered to be somewhat of a one-man crazy nerd party but with massive talent.
HARMONTOWN is a documentary directed by Neil Berkeley (Beauty Is Embarrassing) and co-produced by Future You Pictures and Starburns Industries, that follows the Community creator and writer/producer Dan Harmon on tour for his eponymous podcast series. It’s just been picked up by The Orchard, an independent music, film and video distribution company, for theatrical and digital rights across North America and the UK.
After being fired from the hit series he created, Harmon takes his writing on the road in Harmontown and performs live podcasts for his cult-like fan base across the country. Known for his wit, cynicism, genius and self-deprecation, the film initially begins documenting Dan’s fandom, and progressively evolves into a deeper character and case study. Harmon himself had this to say:
“HARMONTOWN is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a man that would quote himself saying that a movie about him is fascinating. It’s more than a documentary. It’s your chance to figure out what’s wrong with me while cutting me in on the profit.”
The film first premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival, and continued with limited, special engagement screenings at Hot Docs and the Los Angeles Film Festival. It picked up critical acclaim along the way and if you’ve not seen the trailer yet, well then, it’s here below for you:
HARMONTOWN features appearances by Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Sarah Silverman, Jason Sudeikis and Joel McHale — among other A-list comics — and will be released by The Orchard theatrically and digitally later this year.
