Guerilla Filmmaker, Brendan Toller, unleashes "I NEED THAT RECORD! THE
DEATH (OR POSSIBLE SURVIVAL) OF THE INDEPENDENT RECORD STORE," a
documentary feature examining why over 3000 independent record stores
have closed across the U.S. in the past decade.
Greedy record labels, media consolidation, homogenized radio, big box
stores, Ecommerce, shoddy "stars" pushed by big money, and the digital
revolution all pose threats on the very well being of our favorite
record stores. Will these stores die? Will they survive?
