Great video! I was enthralled while watching it, and the very positive outlook that Neil has. Guys like Neil were what America was all about, until we decided to outsource most of our heavy manufacturing to China, India, and like places. It is sad, because he is right about his profession being a dying art.
Here is the information on it from the site:
Metal-fabricator Neil Youngberg never planned on taking over his grandfather's business and is now faced with passing on his legacy.
In this short-form profile, VitaBrevisFilms interviews Neil Youngberg for the beginning exploration of our "Professional" series. Shot on location in Neil's metal fabrication shop, the 3rd generation craftsman gives a sincere overview of his life's work, dispensing hard-worn wisdom while illuminating the sobering realities of the role private business plays in an ever changing economic landscape. A deeply personal project for all involved, this on-going series seeks to shed-light on forgotten trades and practices in an evolving America.
Music:
Caspian: For protection
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis: Destined for great things
Bon Iver: Beach Baby
Direction: Skylar Nielsen
Cinematography: Ian Rigby, Lance Clayton
Title design: Michael Hall
