We all know that archetype of the elite record snob. And we could even swap out the word "record" for "comic book," "film" or pretty much any pop culture affliction. But is there actually truth to that exaggerated cliché? Filmmakers Kevin Smokler and Christopher Boone relate quite the opposite as they continue their discussion of their record fan documentary VINYL NATION.

VINYL NATION is currently screening in virtual cinemas around the country. Visit www.vinylnationfilm.com to support and view this documentary. 50% of ticket sales (following platform fees) go to local and independent movie theaters in your area.
