Dick Figures: The Movie

Dick Figures: The Movie is a 2013 American independent adult animated science fantasy action comedy film, written, directed by and starring Ed Skudder and Zack Keller and distributed by Mondo Media. It is based on Skudder and Keller's animated web series Dick Figures. It is Mondo Media's first feature-length film and independent company 6 Point Harness' first original feature film. The film was released for rent and purchase on September 17, 2013 on digital download and streaming services including iTunes, Amazon Video, Google Play, PlayStation Network, Xbox Video, Vudu, Netflix, Hulu and Yekra, an all-new movie watching site for indie films. The film was then released a week later on iTunes in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. One of the film's executive producers, Aaron Simpson, aimed to give everyone access to the film, whether they could afford a paid digital download or not, so the movie was also distributed on YouTube in 12 chapters over the course of 3 months. Dick Figures: The Movie was split into 12 chapters and published onto YouTube by Mondo's YouTube channel at different times. $313,411 was raised through the mass-funding platform Kickstarter from 5,616 backers (including Warren Graff, Fred Seibert, Gundarr creators Corey McDaniel & Ted Wilson, amongst others) through May 31 to July 16, 2012, out of originally a $250,000 goal, breaking the record for the most funded animation project through the site, until it was surpassed by Blur Studio's The Goon (an upcoming computer-animated adaptation to Eric Powell's graphic novel series of the same name) on November 2012. Dick Figures: The Movie successfully had a theatrical debut at the Buffer Festival in Toronto on November 9, 2013.
