GoDigital is handling the release on cable and Internet VOD while Baxter Brothers Film Releasing, in partnership with Strand Releasing, distributing on DVD.

The movie -- written, directed and produced by filmmaker Amiel Courtin-Wilson -- is described as a “playful yet deeply intimate portrait of Lee” and “the issues of celebrity and spirituality that arise when launched into the spotlight,” according to the producers.

Among those interviewed are ex-girlfriend Claire Danes and friends Jason Schwartzman, Michelle Williams, Beastie Boy Mike D, Zooey Deschanel and Winona Ryder.  

"It's exciting for this film to have a US release," said Lee. "I find the mere fact of its existence mortifying in all the appropriate ways.”
