Synopsis

Over the last five years an independent record shop has closed in the UK every three days. Sound It Out is a documentary portrait of the very last surviving vinyl record shop in Teesside, North East England. A cultural haven in one of the most deprived areas in the UK, Sound It Out documents a place that is thriving against the odds. Directed by Jeanie Finlay who grew up three miles from the shop. A distinctive, funny and intimate film about men, obsession and the irreplaceable role music plays in our lives. –SXSW

High Fidelity with a Northern Accent.
