About

Dir. Mu-Ming Tsa, run time 65 mins
Maker is a feature-length documentary looking into the maker movement in the USA reforming the economy with a new wave of Do-It-Yourself and Do-It-Together.

The Maker Movement, sometimes called the Third Industrial Revolution, subverts traditional manufacturing by building on innovative concepts such as open source, local manufacturing, crowd funding, and digital fabrication. Breaking the hobbyist movement stereotype, Maker delves deep into this ecosystem of design and manufacturing in the Internet era. The lm 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.

Screening supported by Designit.
