"Humboldt County" Makes Its Debut As a Sneak Preview Film on HDNet Movies
Comedy that INDIE WIRE calls "...a singularly enjoyable coming-of-age story" premieres on HDNet Movies on Wednesday, September 24 at 8:15 p.m. ET - Two Days Prior to its National Theatrical Release

HDNet Movies presents a Sneak Preview of the movie HUMBOLDT COUNTY, starring Peter Bogdanovich, Frances Conroy and Fairuza Balk. This coming-of-age comedy premieres exclusively on HDNet Movies Wednesday, September 24 at 8:15 p.m. ET.

The Austin Chronicle calls HUMBOLDT COUNTY "...a pitch perfect directing debut" and "a smart, moving, and altogether canny glimpse into the heart of a shell-shocked American dream."

In the film, Peter Hadley (Jeremy Strong) is a promising yet disillusioned medical student who, after being failed by his professor (Peter Bogdanovich), stumbles upon a remote community of counterculture marijuana farmers - and a warmly embracing, yet eccentric family played by Frances Conroy, Fairuza Balk, Chris Messina, Brad Dourif, and newcomer Madison Davenport.

From directors Darren Grodsky and Danny Jacobs, who also co-wrote the screenplay, HUMBOLDT COUNTY is a story of the human soul in search of happiness, and the unexpected places we can sometimes call home.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY is the latest installment in the HDNet Movies "Sneak Preview" series. Only HDNet Movies presents these exclusive "Sneak Previews" of films to viewers before they premiere in theaters. All Sneak Preview films are free to HDNet Movies subscribers.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY premieres on HDNet Movies on Wednesday, September 24 at 8:15 p.m. ET with encore presentations at 10:00 p.m. ET and 11:45 p.m. ET.

I only got to watch an hour or so last night, but I really like it. One of the main characters is played by the doctor from "Deadwood" and his wife is the mother from "Six Feet Under". Beautifully shot, well written and well acted. I can't wait to see the rest of it. This is the best HDNMV pre-release I've seen so far.

Edit: Saw the end. Very entertaining.
