Beautiful documentary and very well made. It is an art that is slowly dying and I hope that it is transfered to future generations. Thanks for the trailor.

As a Persian rug dealer (Rich’s Fine Oriental Rugs), I’d like to know if there is any way to get this film?
Thanks, Rich

Hi,
I saw that film at Full Frame last year! Fell in love wit it; I teach film at Ithaca College and would love to show the film to my students, mostly to inspire them by this thoughtful, beautiful film; to open their minds, to encourage them to look for the subject of their projects beyond zombie team.
sincerely,
marlena
