Jesse Skeen's Bio:

Jesse Skeen has been fascinated with home video ever since he first heard it existed, but constantly nagging his parents to buy a VCR didn't work until 1985. Since then he has accumulated more than 15,000 titles in every format to hit the market. He has a rather unhealthy obsession with failed and dead formats, having every CED videodisc title and nearly every movie released on D-VHS and HD-DVD just to name a few. Watches every movie he can but has a taste for the more offbeat movies and cheesy musicals. His most rewarding job was running 35mm at a few movie theaters, where he learned he had the talent to present everything as perfectly as possible but absolutely no talent to make his own movies so he's left that to those who do. He later worked at Tower Records' main office until that company met its unfortunate demise, he's since found more stable areas to pay the rent but continue to support physical media and especially 3D Blu-Ray despite the industry's apparent desire to kill them.
