"Art Of The Record" a film about human connection & records

Help us make a film about being human in a digital world

This project preserves something deeply human and simple that we desperatly need today. By celebrating records we also celebrate the artists, craftspeople, music lovers and the people who shape the culture we live in. This film ensures that these stories are saved for future generations.

Art Of The Record is a story about more than music. It is about memory, connection, and what it means to be human in a digital age.

Why This Film Matters

In a world of constant scrolling and fleeting content, the record stands as a reminder of the tangible. It is not just a vessel for sound. It is a bridge between artist and listener. Its grooves carry songs, but its weight, texture, and artwork carry identity, memory, and emotion. Each record is a deliberate creation, a quiet act of resistance against the disposable nature of digital media.

This film asks us to slow down. To sit with a song. To remember what it means to feel connected — to each other and to the real world around us.

Why I’m Asking For Your Help

The entertainment system often leaves little room for independent stories like this. If we want films that speak to us beyond algorithms and corporate agendas, we must fund them ourselves — people for the people.

We’ve invested months of work, resources, and heart into building this film. Now we need your partnership to bring it across the finish line.

Our bigger funding goal is $85,000. This covers:

* Production costs, travel, gear, and insurance

* Fair pay for our small, dedicated crew

* Post production (editing, sound, color, subtitles)

* Music and licensing fees

* Marketing, promotion, and distribution

* Legal and administrative costs

* Festival deliverables

* Outreach to bring the film into schools, hospitals, and nonprofits

Finishing a film is not the end it is only the beginning. With your help, we can ensure Art Of The Record reaches the people and communities who need it most.

Why Ownership Matters

Independent documentaries are hard to make — and even harder to protect. I am committed to keeping ownership and creative control of this film so it stays true to its purpose: honoring the music, the message, and the people who entrusted us with their stories.

From My Heart to Yours

This film grew out of something I realized I was missing real connection. Not the digital kind, but the kind we can touch, feel, and carry with us. I believe many of us long for that same connection. Art Of The Record is a reminder of the love, music, and passion that give meaning to our lives.

I invite you to join me in making sure this story is told. Together, we can bring Art Of The Record to life.

With gratitude,

Scott Council
