ARSC New York Chapter
December 2009 Meeting

FEATURING LEAH BIEL, 
WHO WILL INTRODUCE HER DOCUMENTARY FILM 

“For the Record” 

As the daughter of Mike Biel, an extraordinarily enterprising
“omnivore” 
collector and major ARSC presence, Leah has grown up with and developed
an 
unusually keen appreciation of the collector’s personality and 
foibles. “For the Record” is a one-hour video documentary that
examines the 
activity of record collecting from a positive view of 16 collectors,
many 
of whom are ARSC members. Traveling from Toronto to Texas, from
Connecticut 
to Kentucky, I visited most of the collectors in their home base where
you 
will see them, their collections, and even some archival footage from
ARSC 
conventions past. The video was done as my thesis for the Master of Fine

Arts degree at Brooklyn College”. 

Introduced at last spring’s ARSC Conference in Washington, D.C.,
“For the 
Record” is both informative and richly entertaining.
