Maker

Maker is a feature-length documentary on the Maker Movement and its impact on society, culture and economy in the U.S. 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 film 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.
