Production
Mantervention is an independent movie that was speculatively produced in 2013 by Scatena & Rosner Films. In January 2014 at the Sundance Film Festival, Vision Films picked up the sales and distribution rights for the picture.[3][4]
Release
The film was initially released across the US on digital cable video-on-demand platforms including Comcast, DirecTV, Xfinity, Cox, Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications, and Mediacom. The only U.S. domestic cable provider to not pick up 'Mantervention' was U-Verse. The movie is also available on iTunes, Amazon.com, Best Buy, Hulu, Vudu, and WalMart.[5][6][7]
Marketing
Scatena & Rosner Films executed a unique marketing campaign targeting the college demographic, and also included a limited theatrical release in numerous college markets including University of Alabama, Florida State University, University of Florida, Georgia Institute of Technology, North Carolina State University, and Arizona State University. The campaign employed local street teams, cross-promotions with local restaurants and companies, and interviews and press exposure within the local communities. The campaign was well received in all markets, and led to positive reviews and increased viewership.[8][9][10][11]
Reception
Critics and audiences alike had a good response to the film—acknowledging the film as a classic college sex comedy with heart. Unlike most comedies of this nature, Mantervention has garnered a female audience equal in numbers to the male audience. TotalFratMove.com called 'Mantervention' "the best raunchy sex comedy since 'Wedding Crashers'." Mantervention also won the Audience Award for Best Feature Film at the 2014 Bel Air Film Festival.[9]
