IndieDVD Inc. , a Portland, Oregon company committed to presenting independent and underground cinema in DVD format,
today announced that it has acquired the rights to the View Askew 1996 film, Drawing Flies.
The company teamed with View Askew, renowned for the success of Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma, to release
this picture in both VHS and DVD formats.
‘Drawing Flies’, filmed entirely in black and white, is about a group of friends who lose their way in the woods in pursuit of Bigfoot.
Produced by Kevin Smith and co-directed and co-written by Matt Gissing and Malcolm Ingram, the film features Jason Lee
(Almost Famous, Enemy of the State, Dogma, Mumford), Jason Mewes (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma) and Rene
