“‘Harmontown’ is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a man that would quote himself saying that a movie about him is fascinating,” Harmon said in a statement. “It’s more than a documentary. It’s your chance to figure out what’s wrong with me while cutting me in on the profit.”

The film, which debuted at SXSW, will hit a limited number of theaters in October, likely around the time that “Community” will make its return/debut on Yahoo, and will also be available digitally on demand.
