One VHS camera. Two VCRs. Many cases of beer.

In the late 90s, like many indie filmmakers, I worked at a video store. On weekends, my friends and I would "borrow" video cameras and shoot movies over two days. Friday nights were for beer and writing scripts, Saturday mornings we started filming and wrapped up on Sunday. Editing took about a week—back then, we used two VCRs and a four-track recorder. We shamelessly borrowed music from Tim Burton films and had a blast.

Those videos were lost for years, but they’ve recently resurfaced. Our little group was called Bonehead Films. Now, I’m re-editing those old movies, adding better music, and preparing to release them. These aren’t high-budget Avengers films—they’re just a testament to the good times, hard work, and creativity of a few people who loved making movies for fun.

All of these were shot on VHS, completed in just two days, with no budget and plenty of passion.  

This fall, we’ll be launching the 2026 version of “The Basement,” followed soon after by “The Switch” and “Irma Part 2: Return of the Packer.”

Enjoy!
