Ex-Rental: PART II
- Following the previous documentary, Mat must make moves to continue his business amidst a global pandemic and other obstacles
‘Ex-Rental’ released in November of 2019 to wide local acclaim and became an official selection in the Static Film Festival that following year. One of the stars of the film, Mat Rolfe, had moved operations from Video Ezy Spearwood to FanBase Collectables during the time of production. Within a year of the documentary’s public release, small businesses across Western Australia have gone through unimaginable struggles in the wake of a novel pandemic. Mat and co. from FanBase Collectables shared similar struggles.
Filmmakers Nakeesha Moody and Jake De Agrela return in their respective crew roles to capture the latest in the wider story of the last of the video stores in WA. ‘Ex-Rental: Part II’ is an upcoming short documentary film to be edited, produced and directed by Jake De Agrela. Nakeesha Moody returns as director of photography and sound production. The film will be released online for free, much like the first part, at a later date.
