My Dad's Records
Producers: Kent Hoffman and Carma Jolly

Kent Hoffman draws an intimate portrait of his late father through the memories triggered by an inherited record collection. When Kent and his five-year-old son Evan sit down for the first time and listen to the record collection, what evolves is no mere sentimental journey. It is an evocation of how the quirky musical tastes of a father become the legacy of a son, and grandson. Told with wit and affection, My Dad's Records considers how musical memories can be both deeply personal and elusive.
