Spintop
Client: Damascus Soap
Branded Documentary
He spent years convinced he didn't belong, working a 9 to 5, making things in a garage, and fighting a voice that told him he wasn't good enough.
Then a mentor introduced him to the spinning top, a small object he almost refused to make, that became his first sale, his first proof, and eventually his identity. But it wasn't until crisis forced him to look up from the bench that he began to understand what the work was really asking of him.
What follows is a quiet, meditative portrait of one man's journey through doubt, craft, and the slow discovery that making something was never just about the object. This is a film about what we inherit, what we make, and what we leave behind.
