The non-profit video store faces many challenges in order to remain a physical media sanctuary
It’s hard out there for a video store when it’s trying to get money for the rent. Look no further than our old friends at Scarecrow Video in Seattle , Washington. We last wrote about them in 2014, when the store was in the process of transitioning from a for-profit video store into a non-profit video archive. That fundraiser was a massive success, shattering the proposed goal of $100,000 to bring in more than $130,000.
Scarecrow, Barr told us, also does rental by mail, “So you can be anywhere in the country and rent from us.” They also have Blu-rays, DVDs, and some videos available for sale on eBay and the Scarecrow website. Wouldn’t you like to be the proud owner of Amadeus on a glorious VHS cassette? Now own one for a good cause. This is about preserving not just one store, but one of the largest publicly available archives in the world .
