Diggers

The latest film in Magnolia's distribution experiment -- it debuts simultaneously on DVD, HDNet Movies and in theatres -- is a small drama set in the Hamptons area of Long Island, N.Y., during the 1970s. Paul Rudd is a 30-something clamdigger watching his way of life -- passed down through the generations -- fade away as corporate fisheries buy up water rights and corner the market on clam sales. Ron Eldard, Josh Hamilton, Sarah Paulson, Ken Marino, Maura Tierney and Lauren Ambrose fill out the ensemble in this easygoing indie drama from director Katherine Dieckmann. The disc features commentary by Dieckmann and writer/actor Ken Marino, deleted scenes and outtakes with optional commentary and a pair of featurettes.
