New Episodes of Vimeo Original Series HIGH MAINTENANCE Coming in February

Vimeo announced today that a new cycle of three episodes of the heralded web series High Maintenance will premiere exclusively on Vimeo on Demand February 5, 2015 - the second half of the series' second season. Created by married couple Katja Blichfeld and Ben Sinclair, the series successfully launched Vimeo On Demand's first foray into original programming.

High Maintenance has received a bevy of acclaim from prestigious outlets like The New Yorker, The New York Times, The New York Observer, Entertainment Weekly, and Slate, among others.

The new episodes are available globally and have subtitles translated to German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Hindi, and Japanese, enabling High Maintenance's audience to have an incredibly wide breadth.

High Maintenance centers around a cannabis dealer known simply as "The Guy" (Sinclair) who slips in and out of the lives of his clients - an eclectic array of Brooklynites, from the likes of a harried personal assistant buying weed for her boss to a misunderstood asexual magician.

In this new batch of episodes, "The Guy" is poised to deliver to a new set of clients, all who have vastly different motivations - or lack there of - for smoking weed.

Pricing for the series on Vimeo on Demand remains the same as the previous cycle of three episodes: to rent episodes individually, the cost is $1.99 or EUR 2.49. To buy all episodes the cost is $7.99 or EUR 6.49.

The thirteen episodes from Season 1 are available for free at HighMaintenance.tv.

Emmy Award-winning casting director Blichfeld ("30 Rock"), actor and editor Sinclair ("Delocated," "30 Rock," "The Big C," and the forthcoming film, The Nest) and manager Russell Gregory at Regarding Entertainment first debuted High Maintenance on Vimeo in late 2012. The series follows a nameless cannabis dealer (Sinclair) as he delivers his product to clients with neuroses as diverse as the city they live in.

A collaboration in every sense of the word, Blichfeld and Sinclair write, direct, and edit every episode. Taking the new medium of the "web series" to different heights, the two make every episode as long as it needs to be, with Vimeo providing them with the freedom to both experiment and perfect their special brand of short-form storytelling.
