By: Cielito Pascual Hartmans features legendary actor Richard Chamberlain and “Dell Dude” Ben Curtis and tells the comic tale of Hartman’s Club, the sole rock club and neighborhood hangout in a town plagued by big box stores and fast food chains. When the owner of Hartman’s (Chamberlain) “We’re very pleased with what we’ve accomplished with our screenings in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and we’re excited to settle in at Arlene’s,” Media coverage has drawn parallels between Hartmans and the Occupy Wall Street movement. Huffington Post describes the film as “a joy ride from start to finish...with topics that the 99% can relate to”. Gothamist calls it a “comedy parable for our gentrified age”, while The Brooklyn Paper describes it as “Occupy Main Street”. Hartmans also received coverage in the The Hollywood Reporter, Playbill, Village Voice, Digital Hippos and CelebStoner. Chamberlain attracted international media attention for portraying the bong-smoking club owner, a departure from his most famous role as Father Ralph in the TV miniseries The Thorn Birds. Hartmans also stars Jennifer Restivo and features a soundtrack with songs from Freelance Whales and Iron and Wine. The script was penned by Newman and Emmy-award winner Peter J. Brash. Filming took place in Manhattan, Peekskill, East Hampton, New York and in Jersey City, New Jersey. The film held its world premiere as a Gala Presentation at this year’s Atlanta Film Festival and was an official selection at the CMJ 2011 Music Marathon and Film Festival.
