movie day: Twilight of the Masters

Twilight of the Masters from Rogan Productions on Vimeo.

Rogan Productions presents a short film directed by John Gutierrez.

Twilight of the Masters offers a moving portrait of three of the
world’s most dedicated craftsmen in the twilight hours of their careers.
The film follows these craftsmen as they grapple with their legacies
and consider how their craft might be passed onto the next generation.

Twilight of the Masters travels to Minnesota to hear the story of the
legendary potter Warren Mackenzie, to Japan to follow the knife &
samurai sword master Kazuo Myojin, and finally to Scotland to hear from
the longest serving malt-master in the Scottish whisky industry, David
Stewart from the Balvenie distillery in Dufftown.
