You guys. YOU GUYS. The world premiere of Stripped is here! We’re giving out ten exclusive Watterson posters! And YOU’RE invited!

It’s been 4 years in production, 77 people interviewed, 300 hours of footage…all adding up to ONE AWESOME NIGHT.

We’re holding it at the world famous Cinerama Dome, with its 86-foot screen. We just test-screened it there this morning, and it looks AMAZING! We might never have a screening in as cool a location.

And check this out:
– The screening is followed by an audience Q&A with the directors, Matt Inman (The Oatmeal), Dan Piraro (Bizarro), Keith Knight (K Chronicles), and Cathy Guisewite (Cathy), AND
– We’re giving away *ten* of the amazing film posters Bill Watterson created for Stripped! They’ll be given to lucky audience members’ chosen from a big ol’ bowl, that night, live! Here’s the poster (pictured below): You gotta come!

Here’s the full interview!

The film is available NOW by iTunes pre-order! We’re trying to be the #1 film on iTunes for ONE DAY: April 1st. So if you have a U.S. iTunes account, I’d love love love for you to help us out! Any purchase of the film on or before April 1st helps the cause.

And if you’re morally or technologically against iTunes: The film will indeed be available on places other than iTunes. It’ll be on DVD (DRM-Free), on VHX (DRM-free), and on Google Play — all starting April 2nd!

In good news: After 4 years of working on it, Stripped will release April 1st! You can even pre-order it on iTunes RIGHT NOW if you wanted! That’s how exciting this news is! It’s EXCITING!

Boy, though: All the work related to the release has meant 60-hour weeks at the moment. Turns out, it’s very tricky to release a feature film, plan an 800-person premiere, send out rewards to 5,000 Kickstarter backers, and do a bunch of press interviews! I’m very sorry Sheldon’s taken it on the chin, but it’s not permanent, rest assured. I just need to midwife the film for a few weeks. 🙂

Anyway, check out the trailer, and maybe treat yourself to a pre-order copy!

Aaaaand, in case you didn’t hear, the amazing Bill Watterson of Calvin & Hobbes kindly drew his first cartoon in 19 years, and produced the poster for the film! Here it is! He’s the bestest-bestest!
