This short sun-saturated documentary is the third in Keith Ehrlich's Made by Hand project, a series of beautifully shot profiles of independent and artisanal businesses in the New York area. This one breaks out of the black and white look of the previous episodes with lovely color cinematography by Joshua Kraszewski (the full credits for the project are here).
