CORNER STORE

THE MOVIE

In this proof-of-concept, we give just a taste of what’s to come in the full story:

Cass (post-college, pre-life) takes a service job at The Neon, a quaint independent movie theatre in Dayton, Ohio. While working there, she’ll go on a path of self-discovery as she explores what it takes to be creative and the importance of the families that you find.

Support our film

This story is about the families that you find and how they shape you into the person you are today. It's about the mundane jobs we take during the in-between phases of life that end up being instrumental into discovering who you are.

This story will celebrate the small moments that lead to big dreams. It's a story about home. Your home. That community center, gym, playground, or movie theatre that welcomes everyone and is always there when you need it.

IAN MULLEN

DIRECTOR / WRITER
Born and raised in Miamisburg, 15 minutes outside of Dayton, Ian is now based in Chicago, IL.
Ian originally wrote Corner Store as a celebration of his time working at the Neon from 2015-2017 and very quickly realized it was something that deserved to be shared on a broader scale - knowing the themes of self-discovery and finding the special places and people in your life, would ring true with audiences.
Ian has a rich professional writing, directing, and producing background creating exciting and thoughtful content with a variety of clients like StarTalk Radio with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Diageo, Stryker, Brown and Brown, CDK Global, The Center for Compassion and Leadership, and more. Ian also has a professional comedy background in the vibrant Chicago scene working with The Second City, The Annoyance Theatre, Improv Olympic, and The Auditorium Theatre.
