Oaks, PA � Eclectic DVD and Twelve Angry Films are pleased to announce the home viewing release of My Life With Morrissey for worldwide distribution on DVD.

My Life With Morrissey, written and directed by Andrew Overtoom (Animator/Director of Spongebob Squarepants), is the dark and outrageous comic tale of an off-kilter career girl whose life unravels after a chance meeting with her idol, British rock singer Morrissey. Jackie, a hard working production assistant at a Los Angeles television studio, pours herself into her work with an odd enthusiasm for Morrissey that her co-workers embrace with mixed feelings. As an obsessed Morrissey fan, her off hours are spent talking to posters and photos of him and scouring places he's been spotted around L.A.

One fateful night things take a turn for the worse when by chance her dream comes true; meeting Morrissey in a deserted parking lot, Jackie�s world is suddenly turned upside down. My Life With Morrissey takes a disturbing look at life, love and the search for fulfillment in the otherwise vapid life of an obsessed Morrissey fan trapped within the confines of corporate America. It�s a dark comedy filled with hi-jinx and insanity, it will leave you asking the burning question: �What the...?�.

My Life With Morrissey is based on a true story. A production assistant at Spongebob Squarepants bumped into Morrissey at the Cat and Fiddle bar one night. The PA, a recovering Morrissey addict, promptly leaned in and hugged her idol, spilling his drink in the process. The next day at Spongebob, as the PA recounted her story dozens of times for anyone who would listen, Overtoom decided the story would make a good film, and promptly began writing the screenplay. He also eventually cast the PA in the part of Jackie, the disturbed lead of the film. The film employs most of the Spongebob cast and crew as the actors including Tom Kenney, the voice of Spongebob.
