The Secret World of Collectors, American Collectors Film

Ms. B. Hooping Allure. Another of the colorful characters featured in American Collectors

For the most part, collecting is a very private endeavor. With the exception

of the occasional celebrity collector, the activity carries on, unnoticed by most people.

Until now, that is. Enter Pawn Stars, American Pickers, and Storage Wars for starters. Lately,

not a day goes by without a new reality television series being

introduced with collecting as the foundation of the story.

An engaging ensemble of characters face the trials and tribulations of finding hidden treasures

concealed in abandoned storage units, houses and barns. The collections and very rarely the collectors

themselves, provide the canvas and the assembled cast of personalities provide the drama and human interest.

American Collectors, the documentary film released in 2009, goes straight to the collectors to get

a story. Without a scripted sub-plot, the film takes the viewer to the heart of the mystery, why do

people collect things and what do they get out of it? Each collector lays bare their passion about the

items collected and its effect on their lives. Its a very intimate look at a very private pastime.

With these authentic and compelling stories, the viewer can discover something about the relationship

with objects in their own lives.
