An original Chester County film set in the early days of the Internet is now available to buy or rent online.
After numerous special screenings all over the world, Graham Nolte and Tommy Stackhouse’s ‘Parallax‘, which depicts the “lost love, human connection and technological obsession” of a “computer programmer who quits his job to work on a new telecommunications invention,” according to a Daily Local News report by Ginger Dunbar, has been picked up by the popular online streaming platforms Google Play and Amazon Video.
While the film is also available on DVD and Blu-ray, the local filmmakers — officially in business as Optical Emergence Pictures — are pinning their hopes for Parallax on the opportunity that the Internet provides.
“We know the DVD and Blu-ray market isn’t where it once was,” Stackhouse said in the article. “To have a digital presence is huge for a film like ours.”
Scenes from Parallax were shot around West Chester in places like the Chester County Historical Society, Barnaby’s, the Hickman Building, and StanAb and Zukin properties.
