This “Short” is up for an Academy Award. Refreshing and inspiring.

I don’t watch The Awards, but I watched the film last night. It was fantastic. Really well made and a great story. I am glad it won. Highly recommend.

I like what the director/filmmaker said in their acceptance speech:

"L.A. is one of the last cities in America to give public school students free and freely repaired instruments. We need to fix that because music education isn't just about creating incredible musicians, is about creating incredible humans."
