Documentary Filmmakers and Graphics

Documentary Filmmakers wear many hats. Today, I wore the graphics hat designing our Film’s Poster. For us as archival and art-centric documentarians, the work of a film becomes very layered. This film is about a special place in time and the generations of preservationists and conservationists who still protect and preserve these lands. The graphics we chose for our film poster needed to represent the key character in the film it’s location, Flat Rock, North Carolina. While this image represents a place that has changed very little in the last 130 years. This bending and blurring of time takes us to the heart of our story, the histories of the land, the people and its culture. It presents a vista for our viewers to pause, consider and appreciate what a group of like minded citizens can do to become stewards of the land.

Happy to present our film poster, it captures the film beautifully.
