Motion City Soundtrack‘s debut album I Am The Movie was released in June of 2003 by Epitaph records. More than 10 years later, we’re getting a documentary about the album–titled, of course, I Am The Movie: The Movie.

It’s set to be released May 13. The documentary will receive a limited edition DVD release in addition to being available digitally through iTunes and Amazon.

The band will also be performing I Am The Movie in its entirety acoustically for the first time to celebrate the documentary’s release. The performance will take place at the McNally-Smith Auditorium on the campus of McNally-Smith College of Music in St. Paul, Minn. on Tuesday, May 13. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m.

Head after the jump to view a full statement from the band about the release along with full details for the special performance. We also have a short trailer and poster for the film for you to check out there.

Last year we sorted through hours of video footage and photographs from when we first recorded and released our debut album, I Am The Movie. We realized we had such great footage from those days that we thought it would be cool to put together a documentary inspired stylistically by Fugazi’s Instrument. We asked our friend Melissa Kraemer to lead the project and she did an amazing job editing together the story of I Am The Movie through the songs, from start to end.

We are releasing this video documentary, now called I Am The Movie: The Movie, on May 13th through our longtime label Epitaph Records. I Am the Movie: The Movie will be available on limited edition DVD in the original floppy disk packaging that the album was released on, as well as through digital outlets like iTunes and Amazon.

To celebrate the release of the documentary, we will perform the album I Am The Movie acoustic, for the first time ever, in it’s entirety, start to finish at the 240-cap seated McNally-Smith Auditorium on the campus of McNally-Smith College of Music in St. Paul, MN on Tuesday, May 13th at 7PM. Tickets are $25.00 and will be on-sale on Friday April 18th at 10 a.m. via www.etix.com or at the Depot Tavern
