“Harmontown”, director Neil Berkeley’s feature-length documentary film based on TV writer/producer Dan Harmon’s popular weekly podcast, has been named an official selection of the 2014 South by Southwest® festival (SXSW®) in Austin, TX.

“Harmontown” is a comedic, brutally honest documentary following Dan Harmon (NBC's "Community", Adult Swim’s “Rick and Morty”) as he takes his live podcast on a national tour. The film joins Harmon, long time friend Jeff B. Davis (Whose Line is it Anyway), regular guest Erin McGathy (This Feels Terrible) and Game Master Spencer Crittenden as they bring live, town hall style rants to sold-out audiences around the country.

An intimate and revealing look into the life and headspace of a classic tortured creative, “Harmontown” gives filmmaker Neil Berkeley unfiltered access. Dan Harmon takes himself on a journey of self-discovery and the film finds him opening up on camera.

A co-production of Starburns Industries and Future You Pictures, the film marks director Neil Berkeley’s second feature-length documentary. "Beauty is Embarrassing", a documentary about artist Wayne White, premiered at SXSW in 2012 to critical acclaim. Dan Harmon and Neil Berkeley will be available for interviews during SXSW.
