Video Store Legends
the legends are real
We are storytellers.
We craft stories that bend genres, break convention, and disrupt the status quo. We’ve watched thousands- Nay, tens-of-thousands of movies, and most of the shit we watch bores us to death. We want to create stories that speak to the movie aficionado who has seen everything from It’s A Beautiful Life to Mandy. Our fans have an insatiable appetite for the new and unseen- They crave the one thing they can’t live without… an insanely original and beautifully crafted story with heart.

James
Screenwriter + Director + Knows Things
James holds a Master’s degree in film and cinematic studies from Hollywood Video (1997-2003) and minored in genre film studies at Suncoast Motion Picture Company (1998). He prefers the Suncoast Method for sorting movies over the traditional Blockbuster Method, because no video store should have that much free shelf space. He mastered the art of alphabetizing the new release wall before he graduated high school and can easily carry 30 VHS tapes at a time… with one hand. In 2006, he received an actual Masters in Architecture from the University of Cincinnati and quickly became an influencer in several creative fields.
In 2012, Cornetet was selected as one of 13 designers most likely to change the future of the built environment in Florida. He is an award-winning designer, photographer, architect & screenwriter located in Austin, Texas. He has penned two award winning screenplays: 2 Men & A Pig and Quaz, and hopes to make his directorial debut with: Monsters Never Die.
Mike
Storyteller + Producer + Has Ideas
Michael majored in video editing and T.V. at Ohio Media School, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2009. Early in his career he honed his comedic skills as a standup comic and slowly transitioned to developing feature screenplays. His experience as a story teller resulted in the creation of two award winning screenplays: 2 Men & A Pig and Quaz, and his forthcoming writing debut: The Rise of Sarcasm. A micro-budget superhero tale that would make Deadpool blush.
