Portrait of 82-year-old Freeman Vines has been hand-carving guitars. He is trying to replicate a sound he once fleetingly hear, but along the way he has been creating works of art and confronting the racism of his home town.
This is a wonderful film. Its a wonderful portait of a great craftsman and his life and art. There are stories here that will haunt you.
Why is this just a short? This magnificent film seems to indicate that there is so much more to Vines. I want a feature.
I loved this film so much that I was sending emails to friends saying that they need to cover it and to some programmers I know to say program it.
Highly recommended,.
