On July 18th Warner Home Video brings ‘ATL’ to DVD. Directed by veteran music video director Chris Robinson, ‘ATL’ features a extraordinary hip-hop soundtrack and top notch performances by multi-platinum hip-hop rap artists, Tip "T.I." Harris, Antwan "Big Boi" Patton (of the hip-hop group Outkast), and inspiring new actress, Lauren London. 

The ATL DVD includes exciting special features such as deleted scenes, T.I.'s hit music video "What You Know" and a featurette on growing up "in the A."

A rundown of ATL: From Atlanta's south side, comes a group of tight-knit high school teens who chill out, hook up, trash talk and get crunkified. Amidst obstacles of adolescence woes, these friends ponder life after high school and roller skate their problems away at Cascade, the popular local hangout where everything goes down. As these friends transition into adulthood, each one, in their own way, learns to define who they are, what they want, and that anything is possible. 

Sometimes 17-year-old Rashad and his pals hang out at the Waffle House, trying to figure out what's next after they graduate. But on Sunday nights, they know what's coming. They''ll be at the Cascade roller rink: laying down moves, chillin'' with friends...and for a few hours leaving what's outside outside. ATL is a Sunday night fever of laughs, drama and crunk sounds. Video director Chris Robinson makes his feature debut, guiding an ensemble that includes astonishingly natural movie newcomers Tip Harris (aka hip-hop rapper "T.I."), Lauren London and Antwan Andre Patton (aka "Big Boi" of the hip-hop duo OutKast).

The ‘ATL’ DVD contains the following special features:

·        Deleted Scenes

·        What You Know - A "T.I." music video directed by Chris Robinson with music inspired by the feature film.

·        Ink the Rink: A Director's Journey - Follow Director Chris Robinson as we watch his feature film take place along with the excitement of the growing Atlanta music scene with hip hop rapper, "T.I.", roller skaters, and the many diverse areas of Atlanta.

The street release date is July 18, 2006, and will be available in English and Spanish w/ subtitles in English, French, Spanish.
