Jarrod LaBine is a passionate actor and film historian whose contributions to physical media have made him a sought-after figure among collectors. Graduating Magna Cum Laude with a double major in Film & Media from Queens College, LaBine honed his craft at Jean Shelton Studios in San Francisco. His eclectic career includes managing an Art House Movie Theater in Manhasset, where he cultivated a love for indie and classic films that resonates with collectors today.
LaBine's work extends to significant contributions in the home video realm, including his involvement in the Severin DVD and Blu-ray release of "Santa Sangre" (1989), where he served as a camera operator for an interview with the legendary Alejandro Jodorowsky. Collectors particularly prize his work on the DVD and Blu-ray release of "Machine Gun McCain" (1969), where he received special thanks for his graphic contributions. Additionally, his possession of what may be the last remaining 35 mm print of "The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart" (1970) further solidifies his status in the collector community, making his work not only impactful but also historically significant.
