Meet Chuck.
CHILL: A Short History of Waldport Video
Chuck Hill ran a unique, cash only video store full of hidden gems and rare titles for over 30 years on the Oregon Coast. It wasn't just a video store but a gathering place, the heart and hub of a small coastal town. Chuck's store and his influence has shaped many lives.
Note: So So Cool Productions was the name I used to put on the front of narrative movies I made in high school which Chuck Hill would rent at his store. I haven't used SSCP on a video in over 20 years, so it seemed appropriate to do so here.
Music in opening/closing credits: Loose Beat (Box Office Poison Remix) by Snax
