The Last Repair Shop is a 2023 Canadian-American short documentary film directed by Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers.
[2][3][4] Since 1959, Los Angeles has been one of the few United States cities to offer and fix musical instruments for its public school students at no cost.
[5] Proudfoot and Bowers previously co-directed A Concerto Is a Conversation, a 2021 Oscar nominee in the short documentary category.
The film's producer, Jeremy Lambert, passed along an article on the Los Angeles Unified School District's 64-year-old instrument repair workshop.
The fund will support the workshop and its talented staff, and also sponsor a training program for students who will become future instrument technicians.
