AT THE VIDEO STORE is an innovative and rambunctiously entertaining documentary film by director James Westby (Film Geek, The Auteur, Rid of Me). Equal parts personal essay, intense rumination, and playful satire, this movie laments the death of the American Video Store while it searches for the missing human element in today's digital landscape.
There's been a Laemmle in the movie business, since there's been a movie business. Only in Theaters chronicles 4 generations, dedicated to the art of film. This is a story about a family business, but also about the future of cinema.
