A playful, deliberately lo-fi comedy that mines humor from the collision of childhood mishap and obsolete media formats, wrapped in thick layers of VHS-era nostalgia.

This bizarre retro comedy, shot entirely on VHS and Beta, takes us back to when 12-year-old Ralph, over one formative week, mistakenly records home videos and his favorite late night shows over his parents’ wedding tape.
