[3] Throughout the 90s and early 2000s, Vidiots distinguished themselves from larger video rental store chains, such as Blockbuster, by featuring obscure and niche titles, including several VHS that were never made into DVDs, and movies which were out of print entirely.
[11][12] During its interim years without a physical location, the Vidiots Foundation partnered with other existing independent theaters to maintain its organization.
The foundation collaborated on programming with Bootleg Theater, Alamo Drafthouse, UCLA Film & Television Archive, Rooftop Cinema Club and the Theatre at the Ace Hotel.
[16] In 2021, Play-PerView staged a presentation of Bill Corbett's play, The Medievalists, starring Jason Ritter, Paget Brewster, James Urbaniak, and Rhea Seehorn, proceeds for which went to Vidiots.
"[18] The foundation also received a National Association of Theatre Owners grant in 2022[19] and partnered with A24 in auctions,[20] benefits for which went to the Vidiots' campaign.
