It's an Oscar-worthy episode of Matinee With Matt! Matt and Michael talk to Oscar winner Ben Proudfoot ("The Queen of Basketball") and Emmy winner Kris Bowers ("The Color Purple"), the filmmaking team behind the Academy Award-nominated documentary short film, "The Last Repair Shop." Ben and Kris are a talented duo whose newest film enlightens the world of education through interviews with adults and children affected by musical instruments that need restoration in Los Angeles public schools. "The Last Repair Shop" is a powerful look into making students' dreams come true using music as their guide. The film explores the folks working at one of the last remaining shops used by the Los Angeles Unified School District to repair musical instruments and the challenges faced by just trying to give children confidence in their abilities. It's a heartwarming journey that began with a simple idea and has brought Ben and Kris all the way to the Academy Awards. Check it out!
