Smiley Face, the new stoner-comedy from Gregg Araki that played to standing-room-only crowds at this year’s Sundance, is going straight to DVD. Well, almost. Distributor First Look will give it a one-theater run in LA that reeks of satisfying a contractual clause.
Compounding this is the fact the DVD won’t drop until January, almost a full year after its bravo showing in Sundance. Wow, way to kill the buzz there, First Look.
