'Rewind This!': Poster exclusive
Do you have fond memories of renting films from old-school video stores (after, of course, you forked over 7 different types of identification and a $75 deposit)? Then the new documentary Rewind This!, which premieres at next month’s SXSW Film Festival, may well be up your alley.
Directed by Josh Johnson and featuring interviews with Troma legend Lloyd Kaufman, indie auteur Atom Egoyan, and Hobo With a Shotgun filmmaker Jason Eisener, amongst others, the film promises to be the “definitive story of the home video revolution.” Certainly, Rewind This! boasts one suitably ’80s-evoking, and very eye-catching, poster, which you can see, exclusively, below, along with the movie’s trailer and official synopsis.
Check out all three and tell us what you think.
