I Lost It at the Video Store [Expanded Edition]: A Filmmakers' Oral History of a Vanished Era
Selected by Kirkus Reviews as one of the best indie books of 2015. "This is a book that was waiting to happen, and fortunately it was Tom Roston who wrote it. After we lost it at the movies, a later era of cinephiles lost it at the video store, and this is their story in their words-nostalgic, vivid, and important, because video germinated a new generation of great filmmakers." -Peter Biskind, author of Down and Dirty Pictures: Miramax, Sundance, and the Rise of Independent Film In I Lost it at the Video Store, Tom Roston interviews the filmmakers-including John Sayles, Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Darren Aronofsky, David O. Russell and Allison Anders-who came of age during the reign of video rentals, and constructs a living, personal narrative of an era of cinema history which, though now gone, continues to shape film culture today. This expanded edition includes a foreward by acclaimed filmmaker Richard Linklater (Boyhood) and a new appendix of conversations between Roston and various actors, directors, producers, and programmers (including Doug Liman, Paul Dano, Zoe Kazan, Angela Robinson, Tim League, Burnie Burns, and more) about the past and future of film distribution and culture.
