[1] Filmmakers Quentin Tarantino,[2][3] Roger Avary[4] and Daniel Snyder[5] worked there before becoming successful in the film industry.

The store was also frequented by screenwriters Josh Olson, Jeff Maguire, John Langley, and Danny Strong.

On July 19, 2022, Tarantino and Avary launched a podcast named after Video Archives called The Video Archives Podcast with Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary, in which they revisit movies from the store and discuss the films.
