It works like a little library.
Matthew Reed, a Grade 12 student at Walnut Grove Senior Secondary in Langley, does, and has started his very own 'Free Blockbuster.' Akin to the little libraries spotted around town, the Free Blockbusters idea started in the U.S. and is just beginning to cross the border .Reed's a big fan of films, especially physical copies of them , and was inspired when he saw the idea online.
Reed, who's on the autism spectrum, took the idea to his teacher Jeffrey Trampleasure and turned it into his Capstone project. At first, the plan was to build a little cabinet. But with lumber prices what they are these days, Reed found an outdoor cabinet at Ikea, built it and spray-painted it bright blue, using stickers to give it that proper Blockbuster look.
"One person came by; she had two big bags of videos and DVDs. They were heavy," says Reed. "There were 108 movies in those bags."
