Straight To Video was launched in 2022 by long-time friends Chris Annable and Rob Lane who yearned for those Friday nights searching the shelves of a favourite video shop for a must-see film.

The pals brought in racks of videos, arcade machines, movie posters and a wall of high school lockers on which they invited guests to sign or scribble a message or memory.
