SHORT FILM description

 

Is beer art? “craft” looks at the relationship between brewing and a painter. Through intense process and joyful experimentation, we discover that these two worlds have more in common than you might think, all while centering on the community formed along the way.

 

our goal

 
 

This short film serves as an inspiration for a larger goal: a feature documentary film on the connection between beer and community.

throughout our daily lives, we see beer in so many communal spaces: the local tavern, our favorite sporting event, a wedding celebration. We have developed a love for our local brewery or our favorite neighborhood pub. They represent for us a place where we can relax and unwind from the stresses of life. But perhaps most importantly, they represent a connection to the places we live. they act as community centers where we see old friends and make new ones, a place where we can meet our neighbors and form a communal pride.

at the heart of this entire experience is the brewer. a person who brings not only immense skill and technique, but a unique perspective and identity into the spaces they create and the beer they brew. every brewer has a story to share: a story that shapes the spaces and communities we live in.
