The Air I Breathe was one of my Top Picks of 2007. It was the talk of the Tribeca Film Festival and I've been following its progress on this blog ever since.

Following a limited theatrical run, the DVD has now hit store shelves and movie sites. Director Jieho Lee, who wrote the film with Bob DeRosa, are thrilled that their provocative film is now available to be seen by a wider audience. The DVD offers tasty extras, of course. "You can hear a commentary track with me, Jieho [Lee], Walt [Lloyd] (our DP) and Robert [Hoffman] (our editor)," co-writer Bob DeRosa told me. "There are some fun outtakes and a few deleted scenes, including my fave, the check-up scene between Kevin [Bacon] and Julie [Delpy]."

Just one week into its home video distribution, rentals and sales of The Air I Breathe are already brisk.

Remember the Daze, from first time writer-director Jess Manafort, is out today on DVD. A talented group of up-and-coming young actors portrays the graduating class of 1999 as they make their way through the last day of high school in the teenage wasteland of suburbia. The cast of indie darlings includes Amber Heard, Alexa Vega, Leighton Meister, Melonie Diaz, Douglas Smith, John Robinson, Chris Marquette, and Michael Welch.
