Short Docs celebrates filmmaking with a West Coast perspective. We seek bold voices who break with convention and present undiscovered stories that challenge, move and inspire audiences. The Last Repair shop documents one warehouse in the Los Angeles area devoted to repairing 80,000 beloved instruments. Los Angeles Times shared this video on Youtube!

In a nondescript warehouse in the heart of Los Angeles, a dwindling handful of devoted craftspeople maintain over 80,000 student musical instruments, the largest remaining workshop in America of its kind. Meet four unforgettable characters whose broken-and-repaired lives have been dedicated to bringing so much more than music to the schoolchildren of the recording capital of the world. Watch “The Last Repair Shop,” directed by Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers.

Winner of the 2023 Critics Choice Documentary Awards for Best Short Documentary.
