Pressing On: The Letterpress Film

This last weekend I attended the showing of Pressing On: The Letterpress Film​ at the Interrobang Film festival. 
Pressing On: The Letterpress Film trailer
Here is the description of the film, directed by Erin Beckloff & Andrew Quinnat from the Interrobang website:
​"The modern world was born on a printing press. Once essential to communication, the 500-year-old process is now in danger of being lost as its caretakers age. From self-proclaimed basement hoarders to the famed Hatch Show Print, Pressing On: The Letterpress Film explores the question: why has letterpress survived? Worlds of each character emerge as unusual narratives—joyful, mournful, reflective and visionary—are punctuated with on-screen visual candy, every shot meticulously composed. Captivating personalities blend with wood, metal and type as young printers strive to save this historic process in a film created for the designer, type nerd, historian and collector in us all."
 I have to say I loved the movie. As a history nerd and a person who gets inspired by film I really took a lot away from the experience. The film is well crafted and definitely earned the Best of Show and Best Cinematography awards from the festival.
 
Beyond the inspiration and enjoyment I had another reason to like the film. It features two local artists I've had the pleasure of working with, Tammy and Adam Winn of The Red Door Press.
Tammy and Adam are a joy to work with and their fantastic personalities shine on screen. This film could not have featured better people. 
I encourage everyone to see it if possible.
