Craft
This documentary by Joshua Charrow captures the closing of the American Wood Column Corporation, a family-run workshop in Williamsburg that supplied intricate mouldings, columns, and balusters for over a century. The film lingers on the dusty shelves and hand-carved molds, some over 200 years old, that hold the memory of New York's architectural past.
More than a story of loss, it's a tribute to the hands that shaped the city's ornamental details—from department store columns to film sets for 'The Godfather' and 'Saturday Night Live.' As the owner Tom Lupo walks through his childhood studio, the weight of time becomes tangible, making this a deeply human and visually rich artifact of craft history.
