The Outdoorsmen, on TV and in theaters

Back in October I interviewed Scott Allen Perry, the director of a film called The Outdoorsmen: Blood, Sweat, and Beers. The film is a documentary about a group of men in the Seattle area who escape to the woods for one weekend a year to compete in a series of athletic events that involve strength, stamina, and the ability to chug beer. The results are even more hilarious than you might expect. If you have any fondness for beer or just watching men do the big dumb things that men do, this is a great movie to see in the company of friends. (Watching it alone isn't nearly as enjoyable - it's one of those pictures that really requires an audience.)

You can see an abbreviated version of The Outdoorsmen on Spike TV tonight at 10:00p (check your local listings for additional air dates) and the full version beginning next week in theaters in a few metro areas, including Austin, New York, Arlington VA, and Anchorage AK. Click here for listings of showtimes and venues. More theatrical dates will be added over time, so check back to see when it will play in your area.

(Full disclosure: I work for B Side Entertainment, which helps independent films like The Outdoorsmen reach new audiences.)
