Actor David Cross lets you pay what you want to download his film on BitTorrent

Looking for less traditional ways to get his first film to the fans, David Cross is letting you pay what you want for his new film HITS over at BitTorrent. This offer will be available for the first two weeks of the film’s release starting this Friday, February 13. It remains to be seen if this’ll be a good distribution model but he hopes this will get the film faster to fans and it’ll eliminate the need to pirate a copy. Fans of the film will also be able to pay what they want at 50 select theatres in the U.S. and Canada during the film’s debut on Thursday. But HITS will also get a more traditional release in theatres in New York and Los Angeles. Vimeo, Google Play, and iTunes will also distribute the film.

HITS stars Matt Walsh, Meredith Hagner, Jason Ritter, Amy Sedaris, and Michael Cera. It tells the story of Dave, a municipal worker that causes a ruckus in his town when his rants about potholes went viral on YouTube.
