rhino4evr Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 yeah, I think it would be a very smart business move to have this available for sale at the merch tent. A lot of people that are going this year, and have gone in the past. Personally, I can 't wait to get my hands on this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino4evr Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 has anyone seen this yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Anyone have any information on this documentary? Are we ever going to be able to see it? I can't find anything about it. Seems to have completely fallen off the radar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 I am really hoping we hear something soon. Even if it sucks as a film--which I hope it doesn't--it's still something that would appeal to at least a few of us out here. Is it possible it's so bad they can't find a distributor?

I don't know how it could be bad, but I do believe they cannot find a distributor. The new Bob Weir movie couldn't find a distributor, until Netflix recently agreed to pick it up and start airing it later this month. I would be very happy to see the Wilco movie on Netflix.

smells like flowers Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Is it possible it's so bad they can't find a distributor?I would have thought that the distributor for Brendan Canty's other films (Ashes, Burn to Shine series) would distribute this one. But there's probably more to it than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Burn to Shine fell into disrepair because they lost their distributor. I would think -Anti would do it, but maybe they're not too into DVDs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Got some clarification from a response to my post on the Wilco FB page. Turns out the film hasn't had its world premier yet. It's showing at the Big Sky documentary film festival. I thought that already happened, which is why I thought we should be seeing the film now, but that's not until February 2016. So of course the movie's not being shown until after it has its world premier. Now it makes sense. Here's the guy's post: "I know a lot of people are wondering what happened to this, but it hasn't even had its world premier yet, so essentially NOTHING has happened to it yet. The world premier is at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival in Montana in February of 2016:http://www.bigskyfilmfest.org/.../every_other_summer.../c/61 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mariana neri Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Ahhhh I thought the festival was in February 2015. o.O Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Somebody got this wrong. It DID play at the Big Sky Fest for sure. I know a guy whose film was also premiering at that festival and he and his wife actually saw the Wilco movie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It states that the film was part of the 2015 movies. The 2016 date above is next years event, obviiosly they would not have a list of films almost a whole year in advance. This premiered in Feb 2015. The no distrbutor thing makes the most sense. That's why these film festivals exist in the first place. It's not about awards, it about findiing distubution for a lot of indie films.

lost highway Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Maybe they made a trailer, but they're shooting more footage this summer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I am sure Weir has a lot more money than Wilco does and his doc was in limbo for awhile ---- guessing it's expensive distributing a dvd and probably there is not much of a payday in the end.

Sandy in SFCA Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Looks like we finally have a release date! According to an email from HQ it's June 18th on Vimeo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yeah, its time! Not sure what they mean about a digital pre-order? Isn't Vimeo a streaming site? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I went to the Vimeo site and it looks like it's $12.99 to stream and download. I'm not sure if you can stream without purchasing and skip the download portion. I'm going to buy it either way.

smells like flowers Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Is it safe to assume there will be an actual DVD and not just a digital version? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobDylan'sBeard Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I think (mostly judging by the price) you can both stream AND download the film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mariana neri Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Someone asked if will be available on DVD or Blu Ray and the answer was "We presently have no plans for a physical release -.

I'm not sure if you can stream without purchasing and skip the download portion. I'm going to buy it either way.I'm hoping that it'll be available as a download as well. I'll find the time to watch the stream if that'll be the only option. I'm going to buy it either way, too. It will be nice to check it out a few times even if it's only up until June 25th. Fingers crossed it'll be available at the merch booth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most content is free. I guess you'd just have to make an account so you can buy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
