Circle Collective formed in June 2019 in order to provide a new avenue for and community around creative distribution as an artist-forward, feature film marketing and distribution consulting agency. In partnership with OCN, Circle Collective will begin to release contemporary indie cinema across a variety of genres and origins onto physical media, maintaining the same artist-forward perspective as in their theatrical campaigns. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!

From the mind of Peter Vack…We follow the story of Adah & Aaron, two young recovering addicts who meet in their psychoanalyst's office, fall in love, relapse on poppers, and become the biggest assholes in New York City. Winner of the first ever Adam Yauch (of the Beastie Boys) Hornblower Award at SXSW in 2017 and dubbed by critics as “one of the most disgusting movies ever made,” “a surreal comedic masterpiece,” “the cinematic equivalent of getting a face tattoo,” “the first authentic cult movie of the millennial generation,” “the Goatse of cinema,” “the kind of art that many others wouldn’t even dare to make,” and “74 minutes of insane joy," Assholes is a debaucherous romantic comedy of excess for the asshole in all of us!
