A documentary capturing the modern day VHS culture and VHS collectors.

As the dissociated convenience of the Internet and globalized corporate culture continue to shut down brick-and-mortar video stores, what will happen to the longstanding, local hangouts with their rugged individuals known as clerks and the communities who love them? Videosyncracy follows three very different video rental stores as they negotiate their survival in three distinct Los Angeles neighborhoods: Old Bank DVD in the Downtown arts district, Vidiots in sunny seaside Santa Monica, and Eddie Brandt’s Saturday Matinee in bustling North Hollywood. Their stories chronicle not only the birth and twilight of a particular kind of corner store, but also decades of personal lives intertwined with those of their communities, the new challenges and facilities of a rapidly changing world, and an enduring love of the movies, a slice of Americana on the brink of disappearance yet defiant to the end.

Curious loner Dingo Jones dives head first into a local legend suggesting the existence of a panther living in the Australian bush. This strange and twisted path leads him deep into the wilderness searching for the panther alone and on foot, while gaining further insight through interviews with witnesses and contact with professional big cat researchers. This mystical fever dream of a film is the debut feature from radical new director Dingo Jones. With no discerning between fact and fiction the audience is dazzled with hallucinatory visuals and an exceptionally original soundtrack. This charismatic example of DIY filmmaking is incredibly exciting in the way it blends comedy, horror and experimental cinema
