Filmmaker Creates First Straight-to-Video Movie in Two Decades

4 Haziran 2026The Guardian

Robert dos Santos has created the first straight-to-video film in 20 years, titled 'This Is How the World Ends'. The film tells the story of two siblings at a party during humanity's end and critiques the rise of AI in creative fields.
Released exclusively on VHS, dos Santos aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia and human connection through this unconventional medium. The film's release strategy is both a challenge and a statement against the digital age.
The film industry has largely transitioned to digital formats, making VHS releases a rarity. Dos Santos, a former lawyer turned filmmaker, was inspired to create this film after facing life-threatening situations, prompting him to pursue his passion for filmmaking.
Dos Santos' decision to release a film solely on VHS highlights a growing counterculture against the digitalization of media. By embracing a format that many consider obsolete, he not only caters to a niche audience but also invites viewers to engage more deeply with the art form.
