The Automata Maker - Oliver Pett
Th first of our short documentaries, something we hope we can build into a long and meaningful series. We focus on those who make, the sacrifices they have made and the things they have learnt and what they want to pass on with their craft. Oliver Pett is an Automata maker based in the Highlands of Scotland. He left a well paying job to pursue a child hood passion and be an inspiration to his children through his craft. Subject: Oliver Pett Produced by: We Are Makers Producers: Kate and Jack Lennie DOP/ Cinematography: Danny Bonnar Photography: Jack Margerison All of this is only possible because of the amazing support we receive from our paying customers, in particular our subscribers. Having subscribers to our quarterly publication allows us to budget and plan to see more makers and tell their stories to you in a variety of different ways. Importantly, It means we do not have to paywall all of our content limiting its reach and purpose. If you are already a subscriber. Thank you. If you're not, please take a moment to give the subscribers a nod. They are the ones who make all of our extra curricular like these documentaries possible. Here is my ask...
