I originally saw Sound Man when it premiered at the Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, CA. What amazed me most is that a documentary on the evolution of tape recording could have such heart! That's what makes it such a great film...it recounts a part of history that most people don't know by chronicling the life of a fascinating man, Jack Mullin, who was behind it all. Add to that the musical legends(Les Paul, Stephen Stills)musicians and industry leaders who share their thoughts about sound recording and Mullin's contributions, and you have a great film that draws you in immediately and keeps you entranced through the closing credits. I loved it!
