The third Seattle indie film in as many years to get theatrical distribution is male bonding filmmaker Lynn Shelton's Hump Day, which is getting $350,000 to turn over the rights to Magnolia Pictures for a planned 15 city art house release.

Hump Day is about two straight men who have sex as an art project. The last three films that broke out of Seattle to get some sort of international attention and play in theatres are about homosexual bestiality (Zoo - 2007), a gay man's relationship with a monster (Cthulhu - 2008) and now Hump Day, about gay straight men.
