Sound It Out

The makers of a documentary about the last surviving independent record shop in Teeside, Sound It Out Records, are looking to raise money via the IndieGoGo website to allow the UK distribution of the film, which received some good reviews when it was screened at SxSW earlier this year.

The filming of ‘Sound It Out’ was also funded via IndieGoGo, and now the producers are hoping to raise another £10,000 to enable additional master copies to be made and to apply for BBFC certification. The plan is to tour the film and some of the bands featured in it to various cities around the UK. Those who contribute will receive various bit of exclusive Sound It Out merchandise in return.

Director Jeanie Finlay, who grew up near the shop – the only vinyl seller left in the area after the demise of various local competitors – described the documentary as “a distinctive, funny and intimate film about men, the North and the irreplaceable role music plays in our lives”.
