Mantervention is a 2014 American comedy film, directed by Stuart Acher and written by Juan E.G. The film stars Chloe Bridges, Nick Roux, Travis Van Winkle, and Mario Van Peebles.
Spencer (Nick Roux) is a heartbroken college student who can't seem to break an endless cycle of crying and masturbation, so his best friend Coke (Travis Van Winkle) decides to put him through a "mantervention" in order to help him get over his ex.
Mantervention is an independent movie that was speculatively produced in 2013 by Scatena & Rosner Films. In January 2014 at the Sundance Film Festival, Vision Films picked up the sales and distribution rights for the picture.
The film was initially released across the US on digital cable video-on-demand platforms including Comcast, DirecTV, Xfinity, Cox, Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications, and Mediacom. The only U.S. domestic cable provider to not pick up 'Mantervention' was U-Verse. The movie is also available on iTunes, Amazon.com, Best Buy, Hulu, Vudu, and WalMart.
Scatena & Rosner Films executed a unique marketing campaign targeting the college demographic, and also included a limited theatrical release in numerous college markets including University of Alabama, Florida State University, University of Florida, Georgia Institute of Technology, North Carolina State University, and Arizona State University. The campaign employed local street teams, cross-promotions with local restaurants and companies, and interviews and press exposure within the local communities. The campaign was well received in all markets, and led to positive reviews and increased viewership.
