Echo Park, in Central L.A.
WHAMMY! Analog Media
Cinema · 1200 N Alvarado St
An Echo Park storefront that sells, buys and digitizes VHS tapes, and also runs as a microcinema, so the screening space and the racks are the same address.
The retail side is straightforward: tapes over the counter and online, trades taken by appointment, and transfers for anyone with a shelf of home recordings and no deck left to play them on.
The same space hosts microcinema events and is available to rent, which puts small screenings and one-night programs in a video store on Alvarado. It is closed Mondays and Tuesdays and open noon to seven the rest of the week.
