That's one I'd really like to see. It screened at the Seattle International Film Festival to very good reviews.

I had the opportunity to see this amazing documentary at the winter NAMM convention. So I watched this film in room full of sound engineers, producers, instrument salesmen and musicians. I just happen to get a seat right next to the man who engineered the sound for the movie and he gave me the inside story on some of the technical problems with creating a stable soundtrack from hundreds of different sources.

At the end of the film the entire room stood up and applauded for a good five minutes. Danny Tedesco, the film's producer, said he knew he was in a room full music geeks because we got more of the inside jokes than any audience who'd ever seen the film.

By all means go see this film, send a contribution to help pay for the huge licensing costs Danny's up against. He promises that when the DVD is released there will be even more info because he's still filming.
