Well, it's about goddamn time. After years of dicking around and pissing into the cosmos, writer/director Todd Rohal has finally gotten his act together and managed to produce a DVD of his wildly inventive and bizarrely affecting The Guatemalan Handshake. But this isn't just any old DVD package. In teaming up with the deeply committed Andrew Grant and Aaron Hillis of Benten Films, Rohal has made good on his promise of putting out a product that isn't just a half-assed transfer of the movie.

Check out what's collected on this phenomenal two-disc release:
