Michael Schroeder's Man in the Chair is one of those brilliant independent films which I've written about extensively on this blog. It was my #1 Top Pick from the 2007 Santa Barbara International Film Festival and one of my Top Picks of the 2006-07 festival year. The film went on to play numerous festivals, picking up awards at almost every one, and has been critically acclaimed wherever it's been screened.

Man in the Chair had a limited theatrical release and can now be seen On Demand via the IFC Festival Direct series, now through September 2. It's available on most major cable systems -- call your local provider if it's not.

Best of all, I've just been informed that IFC will be releasing Man in the Chair on DVD September 2. The film was written and directed by Michael Schroeder and stars Michael Angarano and the legendary Christopher Plummer. Angarano fans have a lot to celebrate next month. He will have three films hitting store shelves: Man in the Chair on September 2, The Forbidden Kingdom on September 9, and Snow Angels on September 16.
