Vidiots has a reputation among cinema enthusiasts, film students, and moviemakers as one of the most important alternative video stores in the country. The staff, as you might imagine, has always been made up of creative and knowledgeable people attracted by their love of film. At any given time you will find visual and performance artists, writers, directors, critics, teachers, stand-up comedians, DJ's and actors working behind the counter. The support and loyalty of great customers allowed its owners, Patty and Cathy, to double and then triple the size of the space with over 40,000 titles.
