Take one step into Scarecrow Video, and you’ll immediately get hit by the nostalgia.

The pandemic era also hastened and solidified the change in how people watch movies, TV shows, and documentaries. The days of going to a store to rent a movie are now a fond memory instead of a weekly routine.“Simply put, our fundraising is not keeping pace with our needs, and though we’ve already cut staff hours and reduced expenses, and our supporters have donated what they can in our spring drive, none of it is enough.
Stay in our current location for as long as possible, provide our existing staff with a living wage, hire the permanent leadership we will need to break out of this cycle of scrambling just to keep our heads above water, and provide the working capital we would need to allow our new team time to stabilize our organization.”
Scarecrow views itself as not just a video rental store but a “cultural museum and living archive,” with films dating back a hundred-plus years from all over the world. Their large collection tells the story of who we were, how we got here, and where we’re going.
