Spencer Halpin's Moral Kombat Now Available on Leading Digital Distribution Portals and Outlets

Award-winning HD documentary gets broad acceptance

SAN FRANCISCO, March 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Spencer Halpin's Moral Kombat, a controversial documentary which examines the polarizing subject of violence in video games, is now available for rental or purchase on the leading online video distribution sites. The current and future platforms to find the film include: Amazon OnDemand, Apple's iTunes, Hulu, Microsoft's Xbox Live, Netflix, and Sony's PlayStation Network.

Indie Director, Spencer Halpin, said, "I couldn't be more proud to see the movie gain such amazing support from the industry. It's taken a while to see Moral Kombat distributed the way that I had always hoped, but it's been more than worth the wait. Technology has advanced significantly since the film's inception – and it's interesting to note that it was also the very first feature-length high-definition documentary shot. So it being available for people to watch in so many settings, from viewers experiencing it through a game console, iPhone or laptop… it's just very rewarding as a filmmaker to have your work that readily consumable."

"We're very excited to see Moral Kombat get such acceptance and interest," said Matt Dentler, Head of Programming for Cinetic Rights Management, the exclusive digital distribution agency for the film. "Although Spencer originally created the film primarily as an education and social commentary documentary, it's really grown far beyond that. We're seeing the demographics span from college-age gamers, who want to engage in the debate, to stay-at-home moms who are keen to learn more about the medium and its impact on their children. Having the film be so accessible makes it convenient to stream, download and watch at your convenience and when convenient. If you have a web-enabled device, you and watch the movie on your own terms, and that in itself is – like this documentary – quite compelling."
