Found Footage guys find more footage

by Euan Kerr, Minnesota Public Radio

St. Paul, Minn. — Former Twin Citians Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett spend their days combing through old VHS tapes found in thrift stores, garage sales, and even dumpsters.

They seek cringe-worthy video, lost VHS gems they present as "The Found Footage Festival." Their screenings around the country regularly sell out.

Prueher and Pickett will present their latest collection tonight in the Twin Cities.

When they spoke with Euan Kerr, Prueher said one of their prize finds this year is called "Video Dates."
