If you had too much stuff... where would you put it? And why would you even keep it? One day director Cami Kidder realized that not only did she have a storage locker on both coasts in the U.S. but that she couldn’t drive two blocks in L.A. without seeing a U-Store, U-Lock, or Self-Stash. What WAS in all those little lockers? What could so many people have that was so important they didn’t need it in their house but yet couldn’t bear to part with? Compiling over 150 interviews with people from all walks of life and all across America, Kidder’s made Store, one of the funniest and perhaps most insightful documentaries on the North American obsession with hoarding. It’s not just a George Carlin style riff on the catch-22 nature of STUFF, it’s a look at the whole culture of those who refuse to part with what they’re not sure yet that they can’t do without. After all, it’s not just about where you put your stuff. There are clutter coaches, obsessive-compulsive disorders, store hours, lock-ups, lock-ins, Peruvian mummies, an Academy Award, bronze statues, urns, divorce, drugs, drinking, death, perhaps even a desire to have your own Egyptian-style tomb and so much more you never stopped to think about. That is, until you put it away under lock and key...
