Why are you doing this?

We're creating more than a documentary series—we're building a movement. While PROJECT: WORKSHOP tells the stories of those who've already jumped, our company exists to nudge the ones still standing at the edge. We believe innovation happens when a metalworker learns from a baker, when disciplines cross-pollinate in ways corporate silos never allowed. We're documenting not just individual transformations, but measuring what traditional metrics miss: Does meaningful work actually make you happier? Can you quantify fulfillment? 

Our research will provide the roadmap others need to make informed leaps, not blind ones. But data without community is just numbers on a spreadsheet. We're connecting the scattered makers, builders, and creators who chose substance over salary—because getting out of bed to pursue what matters is easier when you're not doing it alone. This isn't just about helping today's fed up find their footing; it's about proving to the next generation that there's another way to work, another way to live. And honestly? Watching people rediscover what they're capable of when they stop asking permission—that's entertainment worth paying for.

What sorts of documentary projects are you interested in?

We're not interested in glossy lifestyle content void of the actual struggle required to achieve it. We want the stories that matter—the ones that show you something true about what it means to make things with your hands in a world that's forgetting how.

Give us the 80-year-old blacksmith who's the last person in three counties who knows how to forge a particular joint, racing against time to pass down knowledge that took decades to master. Show us the pottery collective in Detroit turning abandoned lots into creative sanctuary, or the furniture maker in rural Kentucky who's kept their grandfather's joinery techniques alive while innovating with modern materials his ancestors never imagined.

We're fascinated by the philosophy embedded in process—what does it mean to work at the speed of growth, of curing, of cooling? How does repetitive motion change the way you think? What happens to your relationship with time when success is measured in seasons, not quarters?

But we also want the grit beneath the romance. The entrepreneur who's figured out how to scale their passion without losing soul and connection. The career-changer still learning to price their work fairly. The master craftsperson mentoring someone who reminds them why they fell in love with the work in the first place.

These aren't just profiles—they're investigations into what authenticity costs, what tradition offers, and whether it's possible to build a sustainable life around work that feeds something deeper than your bank account. The answer isn't always yes, and that's what makes these stories worth telling.
