The Last Days of Video

Video stores are dying. But most of you dont care. Youve got your Netflix and your DVR so why deal with VHS tapes or scratched DVDs? Why deal with the grumpy guy at the worn-down independent video store?. That grumpy guy is Waring Wax and hes usually too drunk to worry about his declining business at Star Video let alone his quickly evolving extinction in popular culture. But everything changes in his small college town when a bright and shiny Blockbuster Video opens nearby: Clearly this means war. So Waring enlists the help of his two reluctant employees charismatic but conflicted Alaura and desperate virgin Jeff to hatch a series of wild schemes to save their little store. Together these three misfits try to save Star Video while confronting among other things Warings self-destructive tendencies a life training cult corporate bicycle gangs and a Hollywood director who constantly sees the ghost of Alfred Hitchcock.. The Last Days of Video is a hilarious elegy for a bygone era a quirky and charming story of redemption for a group of loveable cinema freaks and a love letter to the art of the movies.
