Back in the mid 90s, there was a record store and venue in Nashville called Lucy's Record Shop. It was a small space in an area of town with not much around it. Somewhat unsurprisingly, it became a haven for the youth culture at the time to see local bands, pickup 7" records from indie artists and attracted a good deal of smaller (at the time) touring artists like Bikini Kill, Cat Power, They Might Be Giants, Brainiac, and more. One of the regulars at this space was Stacy Goldate, a budding filmmaker who took it upon herself to capture the happenings around her. The film she put together and released in 1996 was entitled Lucy Barks! and has not been available digitally until now.
I worked with Goldate to get a hi-res version of the film and set her up on VHX (now "Vimeo OTT") to make the film available to purchase or rent. All proceeds from the film will go to Oasis Center and Nashville Launch Pad; two orgs that embody Lucy's Record Shop mantra "“no racist, sexist, or homophobic shit tolerated."
This is certainly niche content as it really may only appear to people of a certain age that also happen to live in Nashville and also happened to care about the rock music scene of that time but it's still a fascinating watch. According to Mary Mancini, founder of Lucy's Record Shop, it's also one of the few pieces of media that exists that actually captures the space since digital cameras, smart phones and social media were not ubiquitous at the time.
Happy to have lent a hand in getting this out in the world and if you happen to fall into the niche audience for it, I hope you'll give it a watch. The embed above is a preview of the film - not quite a trailer, not quite an excerpt - but it gives you an idea of the kind of characters you'll encounter.
