Vimeo To Debut Kurt Cobain Documentary ‘Soaked In Bleach’ On June 11

Vimeo just snagged exclusive on-demand distribution rights to a new film based on the death of Nirvana singer and lead guitarist Kurt Cobain. The online video distribution platform will release the documentary Soaked in Bleach via Vimeo on Demand on June 11, 2015.

Helmed by first-time director Benjamin Statler, Soaked in Bleach reveals the events surrounding the death of Cobain in 1994 as told by private investigator Tom Grant. The film, self-described as a docu-drama, is narrated by Grant (played by Lost’s Daniel Roebuck), whom Cobain’s wife Courtney Love hired to look into her husband’s initial disappearance. Soaked in Bleach weaves together a narrative mystery angle with expert and witness interviews, official artifact examinations, and cinematic reenactments of the investigation into the Nirvana singer’s death.

The Vimeo on Demand release of Soaked in Bleach coincides with the film’s theatrical release in select markets across the U.S. The film will be featured in movie theatres which are part of the all-digital Emerging Pictures network, including establishments in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Pittsburgh. Soaked in Bleach will be available on Vimeo for $14.99; at the completion of the film’s run exclusively on the streaming video platform, MVD Entertainment Group will release Soaked in Bleach on DVD and on other platforms.

You can pre-order Soaked in Bleach on Vimeo on Demand for $14.99; you’ll be able to download it digitally starting June 11.
