Each short film features a different artisan, unveiling the stories behind those makers and what it means to be a craftsman by trade in the world today.The idea was to take a cinematic look into each artisan's personal experience; particularly those which compelled them to practice these age old crafts. Each featured artisan was chosen not only on the quality of their work but the content of their backstories. The first four films will feature the following: Brian Esslinger - “The Saddle Maker” Cate Havstad - “The Hatter” Eric Dewey - “The Blacksmith” Thomas McGuane - “The Knife Maker” Get behind the movement - thehandmademovement.com Created by: Elliot Lindsey Directed by: Elliot Lindsey Cinematography: Elliot Lindsey & Eric Kucinski Edited by: Eric Kucinski & Elliot Lindsey Color: Eric Kucinski Social Manager: Eric Kucinski Archival footage courtesy of Nima Media - nimia.com Production Lighting support courtesy of Westcott Lighting - fjwestcott.com Production Equipment support provided by PhantomCameraRentals.com Made possible in part by the Big Sky Film Grant Music: Early in the Mornin’ Remix by Hard Comma White soundcloud.com/hardcommawhite The majority of the trailer was shot on Red Epic with Canon L Series lenses.
