Now airing on SHOWTIME!

2 Jan

LEBANON, PA. is airing on SHOWTIME all through January!

Click here for Scheduled SHOWTIME Times

Our cable premiere was on SHO2 on 12/28 and we’ve enjoyed all the messages we’ve received from people discovering the movie for the first time.

We are also now available on NETFLIX STREAMING!

Click here to see on NETFLIX

Finally, we recently won the great honor of being named Best Local Film of the Year by Steven Rea in the Philadelphia Inquirer!

Happy New Year to everyone, and as always, if you enjoy the film, the best way to support it is to buy a DVD or Blu-Ray. So please consider it.

Thanks!

OUT NOW!

29 Sep

LEBANON, PA. is out now on DVD, Blu-Ray, On-Demand and iTunes.

BUY THE DVD – Click here!

BUY THE BLU-RAY – Click here!

BUY ON ITUNES – Click here!

For On-Demand, please check with your local cable provider.

If you enjoy the film and would like to support it, please consider buying a DVD or Blu-Ray disc. We make far more per physical disc sold than any other medium. We make only cents per view off subscription services like Netflix. We are of course happy to have as many people see the movie as possible, however they can. But if you do want to support this film and help us to make other films like this in the future, then please buy a disc! It makes a huge difference and we appreciate it! (Plus, Blu-Ray is by far the best way to experience this movie at home).

Finally, the wonderful ORIGINAL SCORE by Matt Pond PA is also out now! You can get it on iTunes and Amazon!

If you have any questions, please stop by our facebook page and ask away.

Thanks, Ben H.

In the works…

16 Apr

I have to say, I never thought releasing a movie could get *as busy* as making one, but I’ve discovered that’s the case…

Sorry for the lack of postings – there is *a lot* going on, and I’ve just been running from one thing to another… We are planning a lot of special events for Opening Weekend. We will release more details next week, but here are the basics:

- Josh, Samantha, Rachel, Ian, me (Ben), Jason, Charles and Matt Pond will all be appearing for Q&As at theaters in NY and Philly opening weekend – schedule coming soon

- Tickets go on sale very soon for both NY and Philly – will post links Monday!

- There are special parties for Opening Weekend – 4/29 in Philly and 4/30 in New York. Watch this site and Facebook for details. Not only will cast and crew be attending, but Matt Pond will be playing a special private show at each party! Audience members with Lebanon, Pa. ticket stubs in hand are invited and can attend (space permitting).

- A lot more press, both national and local is coming! We’ll post links. Here’s the first! Entertainment Weekly Article

- And we’re working on still more… so stay tuned :)
