Short Doc: The Archive

Thanks to Sean for bringing this cool documentary short to my attention. Director Sean Dunne gives takes a look at Paul Mawhinney’s 50 million dollar record collection which, unfortunately, is currently up for sale. (For much less than that estimate) Mawhinney shares his thoughts on cd’s versus vinyl while showing us some of his rarest pieces and travelling down memory lane. Dunne supplies some beautiful images in a nicely paced and somewhat morose snapshot of a man forced to give up something he loves. Check it out below.

    How weird is this…one day before you posted about sending Sean a link to Archive one day before I posted it, I had considered changing the name of the site to The Bocumentary Blog!

    Weird.
