 
Alex Ross Perry's 'Videoheaven' Charts the Rise and Fall of Video Stores, I Was There | EssayAlex Ross Perry’s new film “Videoheaven” is a unique achievement – an ode to video stores that elegantly charts the rise of the local video store, its expansion and corporatization and the ultimate demise of the rental business altogether. Along the way, Perry makes some keen observations – among them, that video stores will now only live on through movies and television shows shot in and around them. The fact that “Videoheaven” compiles so many of these moments, from movies popular and obscure, makes it an invaluable chronicle of not only a specific time and place, for sure, but also an attitude and vibe. It also charts a seismic shift, when product moved from the physical to the digital and communal spaces where you could talk about movies changed from shooting the breeze with your favorite clerk to engaging with strangers in an online chat room or message board.
