A documentary about San Francisco's oldest independent record store.
It Came From Aquarius Records chronicles the rise and fall of San Francisco's legendary indie record store, Aquarius Records, which for 47 years championed underground music through its fabled biweekly, college‐essay‐length new‐release lists. Featuring 60+ interviews—including Matt Groening, Wayne Coyne, John Darnielle, and Ty Segall—the series blends behind-the-scenes drama with insights from musicians, label heads, journalists, and collectors. Witness the store's passionate curation, its struggle against shifting markets and the Mission District's gentrification, and the emotional toll of closing its doors in 2016.
Screening dates to be announced.
