A 60-minute documentary on one of the greatest video stores in the country, Video Headquarters, from Keene, New Hampshire, that existed for 32 years from 1983-2015. Its owner, Ken McAleer, was a prominent figure among independent video store owners, and the documentary examines how one man, with a single video store, can have such a big impact in the industry. A labor of love from a first-time filmmaker and former employee, this nostalgic look back at the video store era includes interviews with VHQ owner Ken McAleer, employees, comic artist, and former video store owner Stephen Bissette, and a treasure trove of archival photographs and documents from the store.
