Made By Hand: The Distiller. A short-film series on hand-made things.

/

A project from http://bureauofcommongoods.com, Made by Hand is a new short film series celebrating the people who make things by hand—sustainably, locally, and with a love for their craft. In our inaugural film, we visit the Breuckelen Distilling Company, the first gin distiller in Brooklyn since prohibition. Founder Brad Estabrooke talks about starting from nothing and the imperfect process of perfecting a craft. His experience bears a lesson for us all: knowing you could fail brings you that much closer to success. director-producer KEEF director of photography JOSHUA KRASZEWSKI editor MATT SHAPIRO title design MANDY BROWN music ROMAN ZEITLIN sound recordist ROBERT ALBRECHT re-recording mixer NICHOLAS MONTGOMERY special thanks BRAD ESTABROOKE & BREUCKELEN DISTILLING CO. http://thisismadebyhand.com http://brkdistilling.com
