Watch PISTACHIO WARS today!
The film is officially out…starting today…like right now. We have all the links up on our official website — pistachiowars.com — but we’ve been told that Amazon is where it’s best for people to watch the film for various reasons connected to monopoly power. So Amazon’s the place to do it, unless it’s not available where you live. In that case, there are plenty of other options.
I’ll post the Q&As we did on last week’s tour soon. For now, I’ll just leave you with this: My opening remarks last night at the Roxy Cinema in New York. It was a proper Lynchian backdrop for what is a very Lynchian film.
And please spread the word. If you ever want me to make another film, we need this one to at least make a little money! We live in capitalism, in case you forgot. (But don’t worry, the film will remind you of exactly the kind of world we live in.)

Oh yeah, and buy the book that started it all: A Journey Through Oligarch Valley. This was the reporting on the dark heart of California that inspired Pistachio Wars. Now reissued with a new expanded foreword…
Pistachio Wars: The Book
In honor of Pistachio Wars going live around the world on November 7, I’m reissuing the short book that started it all: the history-travelogue of the Central Valley that came from my years-long fascination with the dark, unexplored regions of the shining Golden State.



Fantastic news - looking forward to watching it through legitimate means
