(Los Angeles) Adrian Grenier (Reckless Productions) and John Loar (J Loar Productions) along with Clark Stiles & the Good Listeners are thrilled to announce their partnership with online aggregator, New Video, for distribution of their award winning documentary, "Don't Quit Your Daydream." Co-producer, Evan Ferrante, helped secure and broker the deal with New Video along with executive producer Sandlot Venture Group. The project will launch online, Tuesday September 20, 2011.

"Don't Quit Your Daydream" will launch via: iTunes (Apple), Sony (Playstation), Microsoft (XBOX), Amazon, Rovi, Sonic, CinemaNow, RoxioNow, Vudu, & YouTube.

"I've been a fan of The Good listeners for years and their film is such a pure gem of story-telling. A story of friendship through music," said Grenier. I am proud to have been able to watch this film unfold on all sides of the process but I was most honored to be able to record a song with them for the film and be one of the collaborators and producers of this project. I learned from the film not to take for granted the music that we share and those with whom we share it, so I will eternally be grateful to have been a part of this project."

Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Nashville Film Festival and garnering critical praise along the way, "Don't Quit Your Daydream" documents the inspiring story of The Good Listeners, made up of lifelong friends Clark Stiles and Nathan Khyber, who refuse to give up on their dreams of making music. With film crew in tow, the group travel the open road, collaborating with unique, eclectic musicians of all walks of life (students, swamp tour guides, mechanics to athletes), spread out amongst cities across the country, in order to collectively write and record their third album. On the way, they are forced to reconsider what it means to live a life dedicated to the art of music.

The digital release of the film is set for September 2011.

"Partnering with New Video to distribute 'Don't Quit Your Daydream' is a perfect fit for what Adrian and I wanted to see happen... getting this fascinating and inspiring life-story out to the broadest audience possible," said John Loar. "We know that anyone who sees this movie will be able to relate with their own dreams and ambitions."

"Nathan and I, and our guerilla crew, charted a course across the country, locating local collaborators through referrals from friends, MySpace but mostly through pure blind luck. It was awesome; we got super lucky because we ran into such a wide cast of characters -- from really uncomfortable and weird situations to really mind-blowing experiences. We wanted a wide range – and we got it," said Clark Stiles, the Good Listeners.
