::inhales:: WE GOT DISTRIBUTION FOR the Aaron Swartz documentary! The lovely folks over at pivot have picked up our film! Casey, whomever there is over there to thank please do so! Participant Media and FilmBuff have licensed North American rights to Brian Knappenberger’s docu “The Internet’s Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz.” The announcement came a month after the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The companies have tentatively set a day-and-date theatrical and VOD release for June followed by a broadcast television premiere on Participant’s Pivot network in the fourth quarter. The film will be screening at the upcoming South by Southwest Film Festival. It was directed, written and produced by Knappenberger (“We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists”); exec producers are Charles Annenberg Weingarten, Zach Braff and Mason Fink. Diane Weyermann of Participant Media said, “‘The Internet’s Own Boy’ is a deeply moving story that explores the incredible power of one individual to inspire change and the complexity and importance of freedom of information – all of which are right at the core of what our company is about.”
