“Happy Birthday Harris Malden” is out on ITunes. The preview movie is in HD and looks fantastic. You can rent it for $3.99 or own it for $9.99. I am excited!
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.
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.
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.

“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.”
