Limited-Edition Blu-rays Now Available

If you've been waiting to watch KERN OIL, you don't have to wait for streaming.

While we continue working toward the film's streaming release, we've created a limited-edition Blu-ray release of KERN OIL for viewers who want to own a physical copy of the award-winning documentary.

And this isn't just the movie on a disc.

Own KERN OIL on Blu-ray

KERN OIL tells the story of the people, history, and industry behind one of the most important oil-producing regions in the United States — Kern County, California.

The documentary explores California's complicated relationship with oil, the generations of workers who built their lives around the industry, and the growing debate over producing oil locally versus relying on oil brought in from outside the state and around the world.

For those of us who grew up around the Kern County oilfields, this story is personal.

The film took more than two years to produce, and now you can own it as part of a special physical release.

More Than Just the Movie

The KERN OIL limited-edition Blu-ray also includes bonus content, giving you more from the film than you'll get by simply watching the documentary.

Physical media is also becoming harder to find, especially for independent films. We wanted to create something that supporters of KERN OIL, the oil and gas industry, Kern County history, and independent filmmaking could actually put on their shelf and keep.

Whether you work in the oilfield, come from an oilfield family, support local energy production, enjoy California history, or simply want to see a side of the oil story that doesn't often make it onto the screen, this Blu-ray was made for you.

This Is a Limited Run

We are not mass-producing these Blu-rays.

This is a limited run, and once the available copies are gone, there is no guarantee we'll produce another batch.

Every purchase also directly supports independent filmmaking and helps us continue producing films and telling stories that might otherwise never get made.

Thank you to everyone who has watched, shared, purchased, talked about, and supported KERN OIL. What started as a documentary about our local oilfields has grown into something much bigger, and we're excited for even more people to discover the film.

Own the story. Support independent film. Keep KERN OIL on your shelf.
