AVAILABLE FROM NEW LINE HOME ENTERTAINMENT
ON VHS AND DVD JULY 16

Los Angeles, CA (April 25, 2002) New Line Home Entertainment today announced the VHS and DVD release of Storytelling, written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Todd Solondz (Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness). Storytelling is comprised of two separate stories set against the sadly comical terrain of college and high school. Selma Blair and John Goodman star in this film that follows the path of several young hopeful, but troubled characters. The film explores issues of sex, race, celebrity and exploitation. Storytelling will be available for rental on VHS and DVD, and for sale on DVD for $24.98 on July 16.

The DVD includes both widescreen and fullscreen “R” rated and unrated versions of the film as well as the theatrical trailer. The DVD also features 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound, Stereo Surround Sound, English and French Subtitles and Closed Captions.

Set on a college campus, the first part of Storytelling, entitled “Fiction,” traces the complicated relationship between a student (Blair) and her creative writing professor, Mr. Scott (Robert Wisdom). In “Non-Fiction,” the second part of the film, Toby (Paul Giamatti), an unfulfilled New Yorker, persuades a high school senior (Mark Webber) and his family (John Goodman, Julie Hagerty, Noah Fleiss, Jonathan Osser) to become the subjects of his documentary.
