Later Fees

Edit! Another batch sold out! More are on their way, and I'll open orders up again soon.

Picture this: you want to watch a movie. You leave the house to go to a building with stained carpets (there were always stains) and hundreds—hundreds!—of movies. You don’t know much about any of them apart from what’s written on the back. Mostly, you go by the cover art and photos (be careful, though, because if you venture too far into the horror section, you might see something that you’ll wish you hadn’t). After an hour of browsing, you finally find one. Maybe you watch it that night, or maybe the whole rigmarole has left you depleted and tired. Before you know it, the movie’s due. Back to the store you go.

And now, for some reason, you miss it.

Love, heartbreak, nostalgia and physical media—Later Fees is a zine of nonfiction essays by authors Emily Costa, Kirsti MacKenzie and Ryan Bradford about working in the dead/dying industry of video rental stores.
