A & P Productions has announced its next feature, Late Nite Video, a genre-blending horror-sci‑fi comedy that leans into late-night TV nostalgia and the culture surrounding physical media. The project follows the production company’s recent success with Onlyfangs and aims to celebrate video-store communities and the era of VHS.
What we know so far
- Late Nite Video is described as an original horror-sci‑fi comedy that mixes late-night cable-style humor with conspiracy‑tinged science fiction and practical creature effects.
- The story takes place around a fading neighborhood video store and centers on a young film school dropout who tries to reinvigorate the shop.
- The plot, as announced, involves the protagonist staging an outrageous bikini-powered protest that unexpectedly sparks a grassroots movement to save physical media.
- Corporate interests emerge promising fame and success, forcing the protagonist to choose between personal ambition and protecting the community and films that inspired them.
- Paul Ragsdale and Angelica De Alba are credited as the film’s writers and directors.
- Additional casting, production and release information will be revealed in the coming months.
The announcement emphasizes an affectionate nod to the rituals of discovering cult movies on late-night television and the social bonds formed around independent film and brick-and-mortar rental shops. Practical creature effects are highlighted as a production element, suggesting a hands-on approach to the film’s genre elements rather than relying solely on digital effects.
Late Nite Video positions itself as both a comedy and a love letter to physical media culture, while also exploring themes of community versus corporate pressure. Fans of nostalgic horror, video-store era aesthetics and indie filmmaking are likely to watch development updates closely.
Further details about casting, production timeline and release plans were not included in the announcement and will be shared by the filmmakers at a later date.
