“The working philosophy at Draught is to balance efficiency and effectiveness, while emphasizing sustainable practices and quality craftsmanship. We are passionate about sewing and leather working, and hope that there is evidence of this in each stitch and rivet. Most importantly, we intend to make smart, beautiful things, with materials procured in a socially responsible manner. We draw inspiration from our surrounding landscape, local tack shops, and Caesy’s late grandfather’s barn & workshop.”
“Greetings readers, my name is Matt. I’ve been a builder, designer and tinkerer for some time now, and I figure it’s about time I start a record of some of my projects. This way, I can share some ideas, maybe get some ideas from you, and we can discuss building things and projects and stuff we all (hopefully you) like. Wood&Faulk is my chosen moniker, and it comes from Woodrow and Faulkner – two streets that I lived on during my later time in Kansas. Back then, I learned so much about working on old houses, building furniture, plumbing, electrical, working on cars, wood projects, metal projects and more. I felt like I should honor those earlier years. Nowadays, I’m living in Portland, Or and still continually tinkering. I have a tiny 103-year-old house and will have lots of projects to share with you.”
“As with my first feature, CONTROL, where I put the photographs I had taken during the making of the film into a book (‘In Control’), I also put the images I took on the set into a book: INSIDE THE AMERICAN. It consists of more than 100 photographs plus my handwritten notes and some drawings indicating camera positions at certain scenes. It is just too difficult to leave my stills camera at home and although there are days that I have absolutely no time to take a single picture on set, there are other days that I take a couple of pictures. Either of a scene or of something off set. Whatever catches my eye and wherever I have a few spare seconds. Making a film is so incredibly time and emotion consuming that I find it very therapeutic to catalogue this period in my life. And that is why I made this book, for myself. As a visual memory to a deep and new experience.”
