Reception ĭennis Harvey of Variety considered the 'fond, unpretentious feature' a 'whirlwind tour of a busy if largely subterranean epoch whose long, often fleetingly glimpsed talent roster should pique the curiosity (and/or nostalgia) of alt-rock archaeologists.' Writing for Consequence of Sound, Michael Roffman praised Schneider's 'fine job' of bringing the stories to life with archive footage, and, with the amount of media presented, 'cleverly match the vintage footage by lensing the newer interviews in a similar fashion.' He, however, deemed the 90 minute length 'all-too-lean' as it does not allow the filmmaker to comprehensively 'trace the roots of movement back to not only Smart Studios but the Midwest in general', but considered the film 'still an enjoyable and enlightening watch' and 'a breezy music lesson'. An iTunes release followed on February 14, 2017. Ī Tour Edition DVD release was issued at Record Store Day stores on Black Friday 2016. It opened the Chicago International Movies and Music Festival (CIMMfest) on April 13, 2016, and will screen at the Wisconsin Film Festival on April 17, 2016. The film had its world premiere on Maat the SXSW Film Festival. A promotional cassette featuring more than a dozen bands recorded at the studio will be available at participating record stores across the United States on Record Store Day 2016. The Smart Studios Story was selected as the official film of Record Store Day 2016.

Schneider shot 70 hours of footage on 16 mm film. The crowdfunding campaign was a success, raising $122,230. Schneider began funding the project via Kickstarter on February 24, 2014, seeking to raise $120,000 by March 30. She requested materials such as video, pictures and audio from studio sessions or live shows, along with submissions of cover art, flyers, video testimonials and written stories about the recording facility. Production Īfter it was reported in January 2010 that Smart Studios would be closing later that year, Schneider announced that production for the documentary was underway. Members of the bands Killdozer, Die Kreuzen, Bongzilla, Tar Babies, Young Fresh Fellows, and Appliance also appear in the film.
