Welcome to the Towelhouse

One of the few pick-ups from Toronto last year, Alan Ball's "Towelhead," (aka "Nothing is Private") gets released on Sept 12, with a decidely Todd Solondz-styled campaign.  Producer Ted Hope also produced "Happiness." 

The website
is up, sporting a mysterious button that reads "Free Screenings."  (After clicking, it says the "Free Screenings" are "Coming Soon.")

Rather than a director's statement, they have one from "Towelhead" author Alicia Erian:

When Alan first called me to talk about adapting my book, he said, "I promise if you agree to this, I'll make sure it stays funny."  I haven't forgotten that because it was particularly important to me.
