Made by Hand / No 4 The Cigar Shop from Made by Hand on Vimeo.
Keith says:
After making portraits on a distiller, a knife maker, and an urban beekeeper, we’ve focused our camera on The Cigar Shop. In 1974, Dominican immigrant Don Antonio Martinez started a small shop in New York City selling hand rolled cigars. Thirty-Eight years later his son, Jesus, carries on the tradition. The shop combines craftsmanship with community, mixing equal parts work and play.
Perhaps our favorite part of making this film is the way it expands the maker experience outward; it’s not just about the artifact, but about the people you make things with and for.
