Ever dream of having free reign inside a video store? How about with two hilarious filmmaking cinephiles? Yu get the chance to do both at our first-ever presentation of Vidiots Surprise Cinema! Roam the aisles with two film buffs while they mull and debate over which movie to select for a small audience in our intimate micro-cinema. Wax poetic, jeer, laugh, sing the praises and get thoroughly surprised while eating popcorn, drinking beer and chomping on skittles. Who said the communal movie experience was dead?
Join beloved indie filmmakers Simon Barrett and Keith Calder as they scour Vidiots' massive library of rare VHS tapes DVDs and Blu-Rays for the perfect movie, choosing what the group will watch mere minutes before we all go into the screening room and hit "play."
