Two questions:
Where/how did you draw the line on what would be considered shoegaze? It appears (in a good way) that you've kept it broad enough to include acts like JAMC and Americans like Medicine. Some might also include the Swirlies in such a list, or even go back to Sonic Youth as godfathers of shoegaze. Were there bands that you said, "Nope, we aren't calling this shoegaze" or "You know, this is borderline, but we're including them"?
Also, does the film include interviews with current shoegaze-ish acts like Asobi Seksu?
