Recently, we heard that indie film imprint Spectacular Optical, headed by writer and film historian Kier La-Janisse, would be expanding into "theatrical, streaming, and home video distribution of a selection of films curated by Janisse with a focus on landscape and design, music and counterculture, and experimental genre works."
As noted in that article, A Year in a Field, a rock-doc directed by Christopher Morris, was the first release for the company on April 22 (aka Earth Day). Now we've received details on the physical media release:
"Pre-sales for the collectors' edition Blu-ray [have launched], featuring beautiful new art by Of Stick & Bone printed on FSC-certified paper and including the following extras:
-Introduction by Christopher Morris recorded for the Gimme Some Truth Film Festival

Visit Severin Films to order the Blu-ray; special bundle editions are also available there -- look for the Monoliths Bundle and/or the Scorched Earth bundle to see which you want to buy, or buy all three!
If, on the other hand, you're a straight-ahead Canadian person and you don't want the added perks for some reason -- no judgment -- visit Spectacular Optical's own website here.
