Big update for fans of The Battery in the USA will be posted later today and we will need your help spreading the word... So stay tuned!First, let me say it is not about a disc release, however, I can update everyone on that and say that we are shooting interviews and recording a commentary for the discs next week. It is very likely that the discs will be funded on Kickstarter next month and manufactured ourselves. Because we are already released digitally, we have been unable to get a company interested in only the disc rights. For those that have supported us and bought the movie digitally, doing the discs ourselves will also allow us to make the special features available digitally... Something we don't see enough people doing in the digital world. If digital is supposed to replace discs, it should have ALL of the content of discs!Second, release outside of the USA is a lot more complicated. We appreciate your patience on that. There are still a ton of theatrical (festival) screenings coming up around the world and more being confirmed every day. Keep an eye on thebatterymovie.com for screenings as at least 10 are being added to the ones we've previously announced. We will be making an announcement about the international release soon, but I can basically say that we've made the decision that will make the movie available in the most places and in the most languages.Important update for the USA later today!

I set out to make a new trailer for The Battery, but it turned out very low key and weird. Set to "The Last Band on Earth" by Rock Plaza Central, I'm calling this video an "anti-trailer" because it's not trying to sell the movie as much as just be a cool little video.
We are pleased to announce that The Battery has won the audience award at Toronto After Dark. Beyond that, it was also chosen for best screenplay, best music, and best poster!
L.A., there is a free screening of The Battery at Jumpcut Cafe this Saturday. It's hosted by the Killer POV Podcast and I HEAR that the movie will be introduced by AJ Bowen from You're Next among countless other great horror films.More info: https://www.facebook.com/events/568230909909311/
An update on The Battery regarding releases... The editors are finishing up a feature-length making-of documentary right now. All other special features including a commentary and 30 minutes of deleted scenes are ready for release. That said, we are still looking for disc distribution in the US. Releases outside the US are starting to get lined up thanks to our wonderful sales agents at Raven Banner. Though we know it has been a long wait outside the US, when the film is finally released, you should be able to get it on discs right away. There will hopefully be more news about this soon as well. Waiting on the international releases was necessary to guarantee release on disc in other countries. We thank you for your patience and won't rest until The Battery is widely available and released on disc!
The film has only been available digitally, however, some great news has come in: Shout! Factory has acquired the film right to release the flick on DVD and Blu-ray!This will certainly help get The Battery the wider audience is deserves.
