MacHEADS – The Movie, the recently-released documentary on the interesting, outspoken community of people who believe Mac is the Holy Grail of personal computing, went up on Amazon VOD Monday, where you can “rent” the film for a week for $2.99 or buy it outright for $9.99.
MacHEADS debuted at Macworld Expo 2009 with over 1000 people attending the premiere. In an interview for BBC director Kobi Shely added, “The movie explores everything from the early days to the current days. Central to the success of the Mac has been the community that has supported Apple through the good times and the bad. That included the years when the company was written off as having lost its way and the ink on one of its many obituaries was all but dry.”
The film also features footage and commentary from multiple Mac evangelists, including Apple Chief Evangelist and savior Guy Kawasaki; the first official employee of Apple inc., Daniel Kottke; publisher of the first Apple newsletter Adam Engst; Chicago Sun-Times tech columnist Andy Ihantko; and a special guest appearance by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
MacHEADS is due to be available on the iTunes store next week.

I wonder why it’s hitting iTunes Store later? Given its content, I think it would’ve shown up on Apple’s property first  unless the approval process (or equivalent) takes longer.

So if you download it (not rent) on Amazon.com is it even compatible with a Mac? Kind of ironic if its not…

Hi guys – anyone know what the release plans are for this in the UK? It’s not on the UK Amazon site.
