Release and home media
The film was released by Miramax (which had been a Disney subsidiary since 1993), and premiered at the Wisconsin Film Festival in March 2000. The film would continue to be shown on the festival circuit in the early 2000s, including at the Slamdance Film Festival in January 2001 and the Milwaukee International Film Festival in November 2003. It was released on DVD on January 20, 2004, by Disney's Buena Vista Home Entertainment.[4] In 2010, Disney sold off Miramax, with Qatari company beIN Media Group subsequently taking over the studio. In 2020, ViacomCBS (now known as Paramount Skydance) bought a 49% stake in the studio from beIN, with this deal giving Paramount the rights to Miramax's film library.[5] Paramount Home Entertainment reissued the film on DVD on September 13, 2022.[6]
