Project Description
In a world teeming with screens, those who make a living by working with their hands are few and far between. With this scarcity in mind, we set to document several craftspersons and the spaces they inhabit. Each short film chronicles the subject's personal narrative and showcases the aesthetic similarities between their living and working environments.

Sydney Oh — Ceramicist
Sydney is a potter who recently launched her own line of handmade ceramics called Milk & Clay. We filmed with her in the studio and at her home in Brooklyn, showing off both the process and finished products of her work.
Anthony Malat — Carpenter, Builder, Woodworker
For Anthony's episode, we wanted to infuse traditional documentary style with a cinematic flair. We filmed the bulk of the episode with a natural approach to lighting and a spontaneous handheld style. To add the cinematic element, we filmed in Anthony's workshop with a more stylized approach to both lighting and camera, opting for a high contrast look and smooth, controlled dolly moves.
