Made By Hand: The Knife Maker

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 second film, we meet writer turned knife maker Joel Bukiewicz of Cut Brooklyn. He talks about the human element of craft, and the potential for a skill to mature into an art. And in sharing his story, he alights on the real meaning of handmade—a movement whose riches are measured in people, not cash. director-producer KEEF director of photography JOSHUA KRASZEWSKI editor MATT SHAPIRO music MICHAEL TRAINOR & NATHAN ROSENBERG music produced at THE DOG HOUSE NYC sound recordist ROBERT ALBRECHT re-recording mixer NICHOLAS MONTGOMERY assistant re-recording mixer JOHN GUMAER gaffer ADAM ORELLANA title design MANDY BROWN special thanks JOEL BUKIEWICZ & CUT BROOKLYN http://thisismadebyhand.com http://cutbrooklyn.com
