Watch: Oscar-Nominated Short Doc About 'The Last Repair Shop' in LA

"Follow your heart. Follow the music." Searchlight Pictures is promoting an acclaimed short documentary film called The Last Repair Shop, from filmmakers Kris Bowers & Ben Proudfoot who last collaborated on the other music short doc A Concerto Is a Conversation before. This one premiered at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival last fall and is nominated for Best Documentary Short. The 39-minute short film tells the story of four unassuming heroes who ensure no student is deprived of the joy of music. It is also a reminder of how music can be the best medicine, stress reliever and even an escape from poverty. Set in Los Angeles, a few devoted craftspeople keep over 80,000 student instruments in good repair - this is the story of The Last Repair Shop. The LA Times adds that it's "is a love letter to our city. It's a testament to understanding how broken something is — and fixing it anyway." This seems like such a wonderful, wholesome, uplifting story captured so beautifully. The other short doc Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó may win but this short also is worth a watch. // Continue Reading ›
