Storytelling is at the heart of Scarecrow Video. For thousands of years,
stories have been the way we learn about our collective past, interpret
our present, and dream about our future; and they have the power to
transcend boundaries real and imagined. For over 100 years, film has
been an essential medium for portraying the human experience. Scarecrow
is devoted to gathering and sharing as many of these cinematic stories
as possible. Their collection of over 131,000 unique titles (over three
times the number of titles available through Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu,
combined) is housed in their Seattle location, and is unparalleled in
its scope and accessibility. For more information, please visit
