Eric Webb reports on Austin 360 that a 120,000 video collection seeks a new home.

Conrad Bejarano announced the closing of ‘I Luv Video’ on September 1, 2020, a victim of CV19 and rising real estate prices.

Since them he’s been searching for someone to take on the preservation of his massive collection. He says:

“A lot of people don’t really understand the intensity and importance of such a collection. It would bring me the utmost joy to pass the torch to a group or individual that has the financial capacity to preserve our immense catalog of films. My only stipulation is that whomever does so gives the community access to our vast film library.”

My take: when you realize that there are only something like 6,000 titles available on Netflix at one time, this collection is 20 times larger. I do hope someone steps up to take it on. Quick math: 120,000 videos at 90 minutes each equals 10,800,000 minutes, or ~20.5 years of non-stop viewing.
