Sound It Out
Sound It Out focuses on the last surviving vinyl record shop in Teesside, North East England. The film captures the unique atmosphere of the shop and the community of men who frequent it, sharing their personal stories and deep passion for music. It reflects the cultural significance of vinyl records in an era where independent record shops are disappearing at a rate of one every three days across the UK. Directed by Jeanie Finlay, the film draws parallels to the film High Fidelity, but with a Northern accent.
