The Story of Cool Movie ZIG

Cool Movie ZIG was founded in 1995 by a pair of freshmen, Chase Tingley and Alexei Tymoczko, who decided they weren't watching enough movies. Its continuing mission: to seek out new movies, ones which people have not seen, and show them. But not simply any movies...cool movies!
