Our little zombie film is all grown-up! You can now purchase the DVD in most Walmart stores across the United States, and at a great price too! The DVD comes with all the same great special features you'll find on the Bluray version, including audio commentary, outtakes reel, and the 90-minute making of documentary. (See the bottom of this post for special video clips from the documentary.) You can also get your copy of the film from Amazon or straight from Scream Factory's website from the links below.
We're really proud of our film and hope everyone gets a chance to see it. It has also already been released on disc in several other countries including France, Germany, UK, and more. If you cannot find it in your area you can always purchase the digital version directly from us at http://thebatterymovie.com/.
Our zombie film The Battery is being released on Blu-ray and DVD by Scream Factory September 16th in the US. The special features on the disc will include a feature commentary track, outtakes reel, music featurette, and a full-length documentary about the making of the film.
We spent over six months editing the documentary, entitled Tools of Ignorance: The Making of The Battery. It was a labor of love and we didn't really know if it was going to make it onto the disc or if it would ever be seen while we were making it. The doc utilizes behind-the-scenes footage that was shot every day on the set during shooting plus interviews with all of the filmmakers shot over a year later for perspective. It tells the whole story starting with how we got started making amateur movies back in high school to how Jeremy Gardner got the gang back together to make another movie almost twelve years later.
Watch as we struggle through all the stages of making an independent film: through writing, casting, production, post-production, and release. "It's been a total fucking dream."
In addition to the Blu-ray and DVD release in the United States on September 16th we're hoping to release the documentary as an online download for our international friends that cannot get it on a disc. Check out http://thebatterymovie.com in September for more details.
