We talk to Hannaj Bang Bendz - Actress, Writer, Martial Arts Fighter & Tattoo Artist.

We talk to Phil Soussan - Bassist, Songwriter & Producer. It would have been hard to predict the musical journey that Phil Soussan would take from being born and raised in London to being thrust into the Hard Rock spotlight of the 1980s, relocating to the USA as part of the Ozzy Osbourne band and being responsible for the huge hit single 'Shot In The Dark'. Phil has walked steadily and thoughtfully throughout his career making choices that felt right and continue to this day as bassist for Last In Line and a continual flow of production and performance roles.

We talk to Kevin Martin - Video Store Owner. It's unlikely that after owning his own Video & DVD Store, The Lobby DVD Shop, for the past two decades Kevin Martin would ever think he'd become the star of a movie showing at film festivals all over the world but that's just what has happened with the release of The Last Video Store! It's a film which captures the incredible nostalgia of visiting our favourite Video Shops growing up mixed with action, horror and a whole slab of fun. Kev takes us on the journey it took to create this new film along with his own stories and memories of growing up with the excitement of picking a new film each week from the Video Shop shelves.
