Everyone’s favorite moustachio’ed movie is playing at the Ashland Independent Film Festival in Oregon. The movie will screen once a day from April 2 – 6, 2009.
Cole Abaius of Film School Rejects chatted us up at the ‘AFF Presents’ screening in Austin, and then drove us home afterward. He also wrote a review of our movie…
“Good solid acting, some amazingly professional camera work, and a quirky story set it apart as an indie that will hopefully gain some ground and pick up distribution along the way.”
What do you think of the review?

“I was kinda dragged to your film screening yesterday, and that was the best movies I have seen in at least a year. As I was watching, I completely forgot that it was a low budget indie film. You guys are amazing and I hope you never stop making films. Because no matter how good or bad, I will see every sweaty robot film I have the chance to.” – Bobby Holmes
“Sweaty Robot, I loved Harris Malden. It was great to have you come down to San Antonio to screen the film at our school. Looking forward to your next feature film and any shorts you produce in the meantime.” – Sam Tussing
Thanks guys.

Take THAT, Garden State. We’re comin’ for ya, Jason Reitman…
Maybe this means it’s time for you to buy the movie. Everyone else seems to be doing it. Even Zach Braff. Thanks Zach.
Reporter Karen Lovett came to Merrimack High School to interview and hang out with Juan, Eric, and Mark during their day of “Happy Birthday Harris Malden” screenings and conversations with students.
In the cafeteria, Levy joked about how high school memories came flooding back, ironically tying in to the main theme of “Harris Malden.”
“It almost brings back the insecurities,” he said, laughing and adding that his former teachers showed him a film he made in his Tomahawk days. “I wanted to curl up in a ball and die.”
We ate school lunch. It was actually pretty good. Big ups to the crispy chicken sandwich. To read the full article, travel to the Telegraph’s website. [ Nashua Telegraph Front Page Story ]

Our friend Bobby Miller is a mensch. He put our short film, “The Fix-up,” in his IndyMogul show, “The Best Short Films in the World.”
I look forward to this show every week, more for the Bobby than the Short Films.
Please click on the movie until YouTube pops up, and leave ol’ Robert a comment. Also, would it kill you to rate the movie? It’ll take like two seconds, pal, just do it.

[ Philadelphia Citypaper Article ]
Molly Eichel of the Philadelphia Citypaper wrote an article about Sweaty Robot and “Happy Birthday Harris Malden.”
“The real trouble with the climate of [film] distribution is the model is broken,” says Sweaty Robot’s Matthew Sanchez. “We’re forward thinking enough to take advantage of this new media and [are] finding new outlets for our films and future projects.”
Our little movie about a man with a fake mustache is now available on Amazon VOD. That means you can buy ($9.99) or rent ($2.99) it from Amazon, or even have it sent to your Tivo.
Here’s what you can do:
RATE and REVIEW the movie on Amazon. Also TAG it. Use words like this: happy birthday harris malden, independent film, indie film, comedy, funny. That way, it’ll show up better in searches.
While you’re at it, please do the same on our IMDb Profile.
We made a short film for IndyMogul’s Backyard FX show. Happy Thanksgiving.

Everyone coming from Indymogul.com, thanks for visiting! We had a great time working with Erik and our old friend Bobby, while getting covered in fake blood this past weekend. Just to tell you something about us: we made our first feature film this past year on a tiny, tiny budget, small crew, but with a lot of heart… awww. Right now the only way to see it is if you purchase a DVD and if you liked the indymogul test film, we can guarantee that you’ll like “Happy Birthday, Harris Malden”. Occasionally we have screenings and we’re just about to have our internet debut, so check in periodically for news or favor Harris Malden on Facebook for updates. Thanks for the support!
Erica Bauwens from Rowan University’s newspaper, The Whit, did an article about Ben Davidow, Sweaty Robot, and Harris Malden.
Alum Returns With Film Premiere
“I was out in L.A. and we decided to make this movie so I came back and we made it in Philadelphia,” Davidow said. “The movie is based on the character [from the documentary], but it’s very different from the original documentary.”

The following article is on indieWIRE Buzz / Rumors today.
Dave McLaughlin’s “On Broadway” and Rob Epstein’s “The Times of Harvey Milk” are two of the titles debuting this month on Amazon Video on Demand in the wake of a new partnership with Cinetic Rights Management (CRM) that will bring independent films to audiences via Amazon and CreateSpace DVD on Demand. The deal between CRM and Amazon will place about twenty films on Amazon each month, one debuting exclusively each month. Others on tap for Amazon this month include Sweaty Robot’s “Happy Birthday, Harris Malden,” Curt Johnson’s “Your Mommy Kills Animals,” and Vern Oakley’s “A Modern Affair.” Additional November films have not yet been announced. “Audiences are no longer required to live in a specific city to see new and classic independent film,” CRM’s Matt Dentler said today, in a statement. “All they need now is an Internet connection.” “On Broadway,” profiled yesterday by indieWIRE, is November’s CRM exclusive on Amazon.
