About Solid State Cinema

Mission Statement

At Solid State Cinema, our mission is to keep the spirit of physical media alive — preserving film in its purest, most authentic form. We believe movies deserve to be owned, displayed, and experienced the way they were meant to be — free from edits, removals, or digital erasure.

Our Story

I’m Garrott, a college student who recently discovered a deep appreciation for physical media and the experience of owning movies you can actually hold. What started as curiosity turned into a passion — one that led to the creation of Solid State Cinema. SSC was built for collectors, cinephiles, and anyone who values film as something real and permanent, not just a temporary file on a streaming service.

What We Offer

SSC offers a curated mix of DVDs, Blu-rays, VHS tapes, box sets, and collector’s editions — from classic titles to rare finds you can’t stream anywhere. Every item is handled with care, inspected, and chosen for those who appreciate the look, feel, and sound of physical cinema.

Why Physical Media Matters

Streaming services can remove, alter, or “update” films without notice — but physical media stays yours forever. Nobody can change it, patch it, or take it away from you. When you hold a movie in your hands, you own a piece of history — a permanent record of the art as it was originally made. That’s what Solid State Cinema stands for.

The Future of SSC

What started as one student’s passion project is growing into a full-fledged archive of film history. My goal is to expand SSC’s catalog into thousands of titles while building a community that celebrates collecting, preservation, and passion for the physical format.
