“As Seen on TV: Noir” Announces Dual Release Strategy With Executive Producer Pericles Abbasi Driving Promotional Momentum

The independent short film As Seen on TV: Noir, directed by Jack Vinson, is preparing for a two-stage digital release that reflects both its uncompromising creative vision and its platform-optimized distribution strategy.

The film continues the expansion of the As Seen on TV universe — an experimental sketch-comedy anthology blending noir cinematography, surreal commercial parody, and fragmented broadcast-style storytelling. Built as both a genre pastiche and a critique of advertising culture, the project fuses cinematic noir aesthetics with absurdist “infomercial interruptions” that disrupt traditional narrative flow.

A major force behind the project’s growing visibility is executive producer Pericles Abbasi, whose active promotion and public-facing support of the film has significantly amplified its online reach. Abbasi’s involvement has helped position As Seen on TV: Noir within a broader digital audience, strengthening awareness across social platforms and contributing to the project’s expanding momentum ahead of release.

Also serving as executive producer is Kieran Corrigan, supporting the film’s creative rollout and distribution strategy as it moves toward launch.

July 1 — Uncut Digital Premiere (Gumroad)

The first official release of As Seen on TV: Noir will launch on July 1 via Gumroad, presented as the definitive version of the film.

This release is described as fully uncut, uncensored, unapologetic, and entirely free of advertisements, preserving the complete set of sketches and maintaining the original pacing, tone, and structural experimentation intended by the creative team.

The film will be accessible through the official Natural Medicine Comedy Linktree, which serves as the central hub for all distribution and updates: Natural Medicine Comedy Linktree

July 15 — YouTube Release (Edited Version)

A second version of the film will arrive on YouTube on July 15, tailored for broader platform distribution.

This cut will include ad support, platform-compliant edits, and the removal of select sketches entirely, offering a streamlined version of the project adapted for YouTube’s content policies and monetization structure while maintaining the core identity of the film.

A Two-Version Release Strategy

The dual-release model reflects a growing independent filmmaking approach: a creator-preserved “full vision” cut alongside a platform-optimized public version.

For As Seen on TV: Noir, this ensures audiences can experience both the unrestricted artistic statement and a widely accessible version designed for algorithmic discovery and ad-supported reach.

Growing Digital Presence

With its stylized noir visuals, fragmented broadcast parody structure, and experimental comedy format, As Seen on TV: Noir continues to position itself as a distinctive entry in modern indie digital cinema.

Backed by strong executive production support — particularly the amplified promotional presence of Pericles Abbasi — the project is building significant online momentum as it approaches its July rollout window.
