IT CAME FROM AQUARIUS RECORDS tells the story about the San Francisco based independent record store, Aquarius Records. Having closed in 2016 after 47 years, this small apartment-sized store championed local, underground, independent, and challenging music to the masses - most memorably with their infamous bi-weekly, college essay-length, new-release lists. Six years in the making, interviewing collectors, musicians, and store owners, the film has a very personal angle, with lots of behind-the-scenes footage (and drama) that shows both the joy and excruciating stress that comes with running — and closing — a store like this, helped in no part by the changing city around them.

Like those famed tornado chasers, filmmaker Christian Anthony pursued art rock heavies OXBOW through five countries, two fistfights and a treasure trove of shows to come back with a document that is all at once profane, dangerous, funny, rage-inducing, and finally the most succinct take on artistic obscurity that has graced a screen in recent memory. Like the anit-Pennebaker, Anthony scores with a film that no one will care about, about a band no one cares about, for an experience that everyone will care about.
