Sound It Out – A documentary by Jeanie Finlay

The following generous people have supported the shoot and production of SOUND IT OUT.
It’s still not too late for you to support SOUND IT OUT on www.indiegogo.com/sendustosxsw
Help us go from Teeside to Texas for the world premiere.

THANK YOU so much for supporting an independent film about an independent place. Your help is invaluable.

We are very proud to be supporting Jeanie’s beautiful film, for us it embodies the spirit of independent filmmaking and the love and pursuit of great music! https://www.tynesidecinema.co.uk/whats-on/press-play-festival

Hello! I said I would help you guys out and I keep my promises. This is a brilliant cause and well worth a few bob. I can’t wait to see the doc in cinemas near me, so good luck with it all guys! – Lou x And MAJOR BIG UP’s to The Savvy Saint!!! (Saint Saviour) ;D

Proud to get involved with this by donating. Can’t wait to show it at Press Play too!

Support your local independent – record shop, book shop, grocery store. Now more than ever. Keep on keeping on…

“An inspirational and brilliant documentary, which shows how important Record Stores are as hubs in local communities above and beyond places to buy Gary Numan picture discs. Everyone with an interest in independent music or record collecting should watch this film.”

“I saw this wonderful film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and enjoyed speaking to Tom and Jeanie. Would love to see it get a wider distribution. Hopefully, the film and the shop will flourish in future. All the best.”

Hope you get your funding guy’s…

Very glad to re-join the effort to help this movie gain as much visibility as possible. Best of luck to all – and I’m still hoping to visit sometime next year!

Saw the movie at Edinburgh Film Festival and loved it. Got any makina?

Really hope you get to make this happen. It’s been such an inspiring journey, of such a great film/cause.

“Characters that warm the cockles of your heart and music that makes it beat a bit faster. Sound It Out is a gem – and once it is at your cinema, you will be able to share it with all your friends, including the hard core analogue fans!”

The Multistory website.

Why I funded SOUND IT OUT? Partly because it is a great idea, partly because of knowing you both, partly because I’m a vinyl record addict and party because I’m from the north (Newcastle) – so it resonates in lots of ways. The first and last record I bought. First album – Stiff Little Fingers [...]

Our lovely anonymous donor says… “I funded Sound It Out because it reminded me of how much music can mean to people, how record stores can be havens for misfits, and more importantly how much the inner lives of others can teach us about ourselves. Not to mention how economic deterioration affects communities.” The first record [...]

I work in TV so know how hard it is to get projects funded, especially ones outside the mainstream like this. As well as this being the sort of thing I would like to watch generally, I am also a vinyl collector of many years standing that was born in Stockton and grew up in Middlesbrough before moving to London

Really shocked it has not yet been on national television & watched by millions.

I grew up in Stockton, so to see a warm, intelligent film about my home town is a pleasure.

They are cultural oases – most of the really good friends I’ve made since moving to this town have come from chats in David’s, and you can’t do that with Amazon or eBay.

I cannot walk past a record shop or second hand shop easily without popping in and thumbing through the racks, on the off chance that there might be some hidden gem I have been looking for over the years. Also the chance to pick up some new music that perhaps I haven’t heard before, or a band I’d heard about, but never actually heard their music.

As a first time documentary maker I went to Sheffield Docfest for inspiration. I found it in SOUND IT OUT. I encourage anyone who cares about the future of film, record shops, and the human race to invest in this campaign.

When i was 21, myself and two friends, opened a dance music record shop in Birmingham called Global Grooves. It became the catalyst for Birmingham’s dance music scene and led to further ventures in clubs, bars and 3 record labels…

Nottingham, UK We decided to support the project because as an independent record store, we feel it is important to support other independent projects, and both the film and record stores are great passions of ours.

The first record that I bought was The Rolling Stones,”Get Off My Cloud”. The last was in fact three – Nick Drake, “Five Leaves Left”, John Mayall with Eric Clapton and It’s A Beautiful Day by It’s A Beautiful Day. I hope you have a great deal of success with your project.

I decided to offer my small contribution since I really liked this valuable project and also because I am totally in love with Saint Saviour’s music!! (For those who don’t know, she performed in the film). Good luck guys!” First record: DIVA – Annie Lennox Last record: THE DEEP FIELD – Joan as Police Woman [...]

Right. this is so cool – the power of collective will.  I know the ocean is rough at the moment, but even if 20 people drop $2 in this ocean, we will be on the road to getting them there……exciting stuff. All in the name of music.  Music of today, (saint saviour blowing my mind [...]

Cleveland, UK It was a pleasure in helping the fund, I didn’t get to down to the shop on the Saturday when Becky “Saint Saviour” appeared and also did not get to meet Jeanie or your good self which was annoying for me as I am Becky’s dad, but I could not get away from [...]

Elwood, Australia The thought of the last record shop going down, no matter where you are in the world, is rubbish! My greatest memories are through music and records, that certain smell of vinyl, artwork on the sleeves, and each song which takes you back to a time and a place and many emotions. First [...]

Goole, UK Wanted to fund this because it’s about a record shop, owned by a bloke I know, and music on records has helped me through the years and the tears, the highs and the lows, through thick and thin records never let you down, they’re always there for you, if you’ve bought them. First [...]

I sponsored your project because I’m a Stockton lass and music, especially vinyl records have played a major role in my life.

www.sean.co.uk www.wildmoodswings.co.uk To the next generation, the idea of going to a shop to buy a recording will probably seem as bizarre as the idea of going to a red box to make a phone call does now. But with the loss of physical formats, I think you also lose an important part of the [...]

London, UK Why did I support this? Because I love Jeanie’s eye for the unusual, sense of humour and we need more left of centre films up there on the big screen (and the small screens!) not less. Because I love record shops (may they never go away) and vinyl, old and new. The first [...]

This film is needed to spread [...]

www.myspace.com/cptyl Newcastle, UK Record shops to me have meant everything from music to a place to hang out to a supply of booze to a place to see music happen with music all around. we have lots of vinyl, but not a collection as such. if there weren’t places we could go to get more, [...]

This is a fab project!! Support independent retailers & documentary makers. Can’t wait to see the end result. Good Luck Jeanie & Gang.

I funded this project because i think the local record shop is a vital part of people’s lives that is rapidly disappearing. the hours I’ve spent in record shops over the years and the pleasure I’ve taken in buying and listening to the music I’ve bought makes this vanishing treat something that needs to be [...]

http://dstrachan.tumblr.com www.generateradio.com I was keen to help fund this project due to my lifelong love of all genres of music.

Since retiring [...]

I supported the film because I miss the record stores I frequented as a teenager. I think this film will be a fantastic document for future generations to see how we bought music in the ‘olden-days’… Itunes and whatnot have undoubtedly removed some of the soul from the industry and this film will hopefully show [...]

www.presentmagazine.com www.kcur.org Kansas City, USA I discovered “Sound It Out” through a random post by a random Facebook friend, and because music is most important to me I did a bit of investigating and instantly was drawn to it. It brought back great memories of a fantastic record store in my hometown: Recycled Sounds, which [...]

I wanted to support the project for a few main reasons and probably a further dozen less specific or defined motives. I’ve spent a fair amount of time over the years in independent record shops and know the satisfaction of finding that hard to find track or unexpected bargain. I also grew up around Stockton [...]

Looking forward to the film, pretty much the best thing about Stockton. More of a cd man myself but bought a fair few random folk stuff in there. They’re always trying to help local bands sell their stuff too.

Music and vinyl is incredibly important to me, so I see places like Sound It Out as a wonderful outlet for people such as myself – someone not content with downloading MP3s or burning CDs, but who want to hold something substantial in their hands, the smell and the feel of the record, plus the [...]

Missoula, Montana

www.jhanby.com Nottingham, UK I guess I contributed to support you really! The first and last records I bought: First: The Best of John Denver (Ⓟ1972 but I guess I bought it c. 1976) Last: I have to be honest and say that the last record I bought was just because of the cover: Party Sing [...]

www.albertveto.co.uk Nottingham, UK I’m in a band and we’ve just been through the pain of funding our first album. We’re fortunate enough that we could get the money together but appreciate many artists can’t do that or can only do it to a level where the output suffers a bit. Plus the subject is very [...]

www.leftlion.co.uk Nottingham I funded the project as I’m not only a fan of music, but also of independent record shops. I find it sad that people feel the need to steal music nowadays, or worse, buy it from Tescos. Aside from a few second hand record stores, there isn’t a decent record store in Nottingham [...]

Why did I fund this project – music is part of everyone’s life. Even people like me who cannot sing in tune can appreciate a good song well sung. The first and last record I bought: First: Michael Holiday’s Story of my Life. Last: Probably Neil Diamond.

WHY? …… I funded the project because Jeanie is charmingly persuasive and, obviously, a good and motivated film maker and I’m interested in Independent films, record shops and I’m originally a Teessider. The first and last record I bought: First: ‘Big Western Movie Themes Vol2′ Last: ‘Burundi Drummers’ from Oxfam.

I had to support this project because record shops are a sadly dying breed. I have spent many an hour flicking thru records in such shops, looking for that elusive bargain or rare copy, getting tips off the always knowledgeable owners about some new band that I must check out. The First and last records [...]

I funded the project cos I like the look of the project and I also wanted to support Jeanie. The first and last records I bought: First: Everybody Salsa by Modern Romance. Last: Not if You Were the Last Junkie on Earth by the Dandy Warhols. (It was green).

The doc combines my 2 passions, indie film making and music. Would buy the film anyway, so happy to pay a bit extra, up front to help get it made. The first and last records I bought: First: Either The Stray Cats, Runaway Boys or Blondie Union City Blue Last: (vinyl) A Japanese Hank Williams [...]

www.hellothor.com Nottingham, UK It’s a brilliant project. We funded the project because we love record shops, and we love independent films, and we love people that create stuff. The first record I bought was A Good Heart by Feargal Sharkey. The last record I bought was White Lines (Don’t Do It) by Grandmaster Flash.

Having spent the last 15 years in music distribution, it breaks my heart that so many shops have closed.

www.takeyourcanvasbags.co.uk www.pinsandnoodles.co.uk Nottingham, UK I supported the project because I’m passionate about British talent and especially independent female artists. I first saw Goth Cruise at an event at Nottingham Contemporary and loved the style and content, so I’m keen to see your future work. The first and last records I bought: I cannot remember the [...]

www.invisiblecircusfilm.com I funded this film because I loved the idea when Jeanie pitched it at a workshop in Nottingham, and Jeanie herself struck me as a person who could get things done and create a story with style and emotion. Jeanie’s remarks about her films falling into a ‘grey area’ which rather than campaigning, judging [...]

Nottingham, UK

http://web.me.com/matarasso Nottingham, UK Everything passes, Jeanie’s films are – among other things – meditations on the transitory nature of the present. Her camera observes what is, now, without judgement, valuing it for itself, while accepting that it will never be there again. Implicit, in the act of recording, is the knowledge that the recording itself [...]

www.mydadsstripclub.com Because small shops give us hope. Jeanie if your documentary is ever for sale any shop that sounds remotely like McASDA, TES-KEA, VIRGIN, STARBOOTS I want my money back.

www.albertoveto.co.uk Nottingham, UK There’s nothing more engaging than passionate obsessives discuss their particular love – for music, especially. And there’s something about vinyl – crackle of the stylus…bumpity bumpity bump across the spinning disc… Record shops and the records themselves should become all the better for making the transition from standard means of mass production [...]

I love film and I love music – so the two combined, together with the subject of the closure of a vinyl record shop was a winner for me. Nowadays I tend to buy music online (although I still like to own a physical object which is then ripped to mp3), but I have many [...]

It is vital that the big players in music retail not be allowed to dictate what music we buy on the high street. Music is so rich, and diverse, and emotional, and most importantly personal. It will be a sad day if all we ever buy and listen to is the top 50 albums from [...]

http://tom.levell.eu/ Guisborough, UK I liked the sound of the film and I like the fact the shop is still there after all these years. Someone I know doing something they want to do and it’s nice to know it can work. The first and last record you bought: Never bought any Vinyl in my life.

www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=647332391 Derby, UK I have decided to support this film as I feel Jeanie is an amazing artist and she has inspired me in my own work. I loved Goth Cruise and I think Sound it Out will be a great project, personal yet very recognisable for a lot of people due to the nature [...]

www.last.fm/user/paulhornsby Kent, UK I’m funding the project because of Tom. He diverted me from a predictable, narrow but extremely cosy musical path when I was a teenager, and rolled me about in the dirt on the side of the road, with the help of that bounder John Kay. I’ve never forgiven them for it, and [...]

Stockton-on-Tees, UK

Brighton, UK I’m a Boro ex-pat who never had the good fortune to visit Sound It Out and this documentary resonates for all the right reasons. Record shops have all but disappeared, convenience has replaced that magical, social aspect of record buying and the buzz of uncovering vinyl gold on the quest for that musical [...]

I think Jeanie is wonderful and I love her work.

Leeds, UK Teesside today bares little resembelance to the Teesside I grew up in. Sound It Out is now an institution, not only offering a glimpse of how it was, but a reminder of how good it could have been. I would also like to my son to see the type of place his inheritance [...]

www.wanted-records.com LA, USA Why did I support?

Tracks and sound it out have been a mainstay in all my years travelling into Stockton. I love Tom’s enthusiasm.

I first started collecting records when i was 11 maybe 12 years of age its a passion that still burns today! I wish you guys luck.

Melksham, UK

I supported this cause because I’ve known Tom for nearly 20 years and I’m forever in awe at his dedication and hard work in keeping the independent dream alive.

Any music fan and anybody whose music taste stretches beyond the X Factor should support this fantastic film as it is so important that these great shops survive for without, them music will stagnate and our choice diminish.

When two good friends get it together to work on something their both so talented and passionate about, what’s not to support?

I decided to join in the funding of this venture because I wanted to see it succeed. It is not credible to say ‘good luck, I hope it comes off’, and then not do anything to help it to happen. This will make people think more about what they have around them. A fantastic project.

Jeanie is Queen of docs!

Tampa, USA

Not only is this a great story — but a creative and innovative director Jeanie Finlay.

I think Jeanie is unique in documenting people and stories outside of the norm which are rarely covered in documentary and film

I know how passionate you are about any project you take on and I do have a love of music, especially Vinyl as I own a Juke Box.

Edinburgh, UK

Stratford upon Avon, UK

They are the cultural breeding grounds for all our city’s musical identities.

Jeanie’s project documents part of my life that could face exctinction, that of the independant record store. She is documenting a place in any music lovers heart. This is why I have invested in this project.

Teesside, UK

Nottingham, UK

I stare at photos on Flickr of drug stores from 1970, spend hours contemplating places I’ve never been on Street View. Sound It Out fits into that.

There’s nothing like actually crate digging and either coming away with a great tune/album that you’ve never heard of before or finding something you’ve been after for ages.

Sound It Out is such a great store and the more people that know about it the better. I’ve been going there for the past ten years that I’ve worked on Teesside.

This looks like a brilliant place to make a film – a whole world unto itself…all life is there.

I just liked the idea behind the film (I’m very fond of quirky shops) and the fact that it was happening far away from London.

London, UK

I’m really passionate about documentary films, whatever their subject, I always find them fascinating. I am also a collector of all kinds of things, including loads of records (even though I don’t currently have a record player!)

The reason I donated to the project is because of my love for music and my love for record stores and vinyl and my hope that record stores and vinyl prosper. I hate hearing about independent record stores going out of business.

Can’t help but fall in love with the shop! And I love to support independent film making, having been involved myself in the 90s in a video training project in Handsworth, where we churned out some flipping fantastic video makers.

Stockton-on-Tees, UK

I’m interested in your project because I run an independent record/cd shop in Leeds, Jumbo Records, and I’m sure we will share a lot of parallels with the story in your forthcoming film.

IIlminster, UK

I funded the project because I think you make great, watchable films.

Stockton-on-Tees, Uk

I spent my formative musical years hanging around in record shops – and although I largely found them intimidating places (mostly through no fault of the people who worked there, it has to be said), I owe many of my key musical discoveries to their presence.

I love Jeanie, her films and record stores (having spent alot of time in them!).

Nottingham, UK

It looked like a great idea. brought back memories of shopping for records as a teenager.

Michigan, USA

I relate to the project as vinyl holds memories. It has something special that goes along side music it holds in its grooves. The memory of the song is matched with the crackle when you play vinyl. I can remember when scratches occured on the vinyl I possess and the parties that they have attended.

Here in Boise we have a great local record store that finds new and innovative ways to stay in the game, and I’m hopeful ‘Sound it Out’ can help all record stores worldwide!

Aberdeenshire, UK

UK

. I not only want to see record shops like Sound It Out survive, but I’d also like them to be celebrated, revered, and to see them proliferate.

I have no doubt that Jeanie has the ability and persistence necessary to deliver a delightful film.

My first Saturday job was working in my local record shop – they’re powerful places, libraries for those whose neurotransmitters are craving particulars sound. Unfortunately, vinyl shops are becoming more like dusty old museums. This film captures history.

London, UK

I have also known a few vinyl-junkies and they are an odd lot, worthy of documenting.

London, UK www.clairefinlay.co.uk

Jeanie is an incredible film-maker and the trailer made me want to save record shops for posterity!

I wanted to say something about in the dark ages monks kept the light of civilization alive in isolated monastic communities beset by rampaging vikings. Tom is no Saint Cuthbert and Stockton is certainly no Holy Island but you know what I mean.

Teesside, UK

Nottingham, UK

Jeanie is a fantastic documentary maker and i think she will take a unique look inside the doors of Sound it Out.

I funded this because Jeanie is an amazing director who I would trust with any story and any characters and make them magical.

Nottingham, UK www.welikeartists.com

London, UK

I think there’s a place for the preservation of certain cultural treasures, and we all (ok… those of a certain age) have experiences of the record shop.

Stockton-on-Tees, UK

Basel, Switzerland

Stockton-on-Tees, UK

Jeanie’s style of documentary making carefully explores the story and she has a lovely lightness of touch that allows her subjects the freedom to share their stories openly.

The following amazing people have supported SOUND IT OUT. It’s still not too late to support SOUND IT OUT on Indiegogo. Help us go from Teeside to Texas for the world premiere. THANK YOU so much for supporting an independent film about an independent place. Your help is invaluable.
