‘Design & Thinking’ Team to Release ‘Maker,’ Full-Length Doc Charting the Maker Movement
Posted in: Digital Fabrication
While “We Are Makers” was the first documentary looking at the burgeoning Maker Movement, it certainly won’t be the last. As of this week, we know what the next one will be: The team behind 2011’s Design & Thinking doc are gearing up for their next effort, Maker, whose successful Kickstarting period ends today.
The paltry $15,000 budget belies what we’re hoping will be a meaty flick on the movement, this one feature-length and interviewing more than two dozen folks ranging from Chris Anderson to Autodesk CEO Carl Bass to Local Motors designer Jacob Ferguson.
“Maker” delves deep into [the] ecosystem of design and manufacturing in the Internet era. The film explores the ideas, tools, and personalities that are driving the Maker Movement – and returns with a timely snapshot of one of the transforming influences of the current age.
Due to budget constraints the doc will only examine the Maker Movement in America, though the finished film will screen in over 40 countries worldwide. And while most of the shooting has already been completed, postproduction is expected to be time-consuming, with a projected launch of sometime “before May of 2014.” In the meantime, you’ll have to sate yourself with the trailer:
