Crafting A Nation is a feature length documentary about how the American Craft Brewers are rebuilding the economy one beer at a time. 

Despite the economic downturn currently in America, a new exciting industry is on the rise.  The American Craft Brewers are truly rebuilding the economy from the ground up. They are creating great beer, but with that product also comes jobs, tax revenue, and a drive that cannot be stopped for creating a better tomorrow. This documentary follows several of the key players in the industry as well as many breweries that are only known within their communities. The characters that we follow in this film all display a common thread of creating a product that stands for something while maintaining true to their local roots

This production is being shot nationwide, Crafting A Nation features breweries, small businesses, and individuals that are growing because of the rise in the American craft beer movement. The characters that are selected for this film are all picked for their passion, and dedication. Our characters are striving to not only create a uniquely American made product but they are also committed to the improvement of the quality of life despite the odds faced by the economic downturn. 

We are also launching a behind the scenes webisode series on our website. This will excite our audiences so that they can get a glimpse of our exclusive access and track progress of our production. Our website will go live in a few weeks and these videos are currently posted to our YouTube page. Check out our first behind the scenes webisode with Odell Brewing Company Founder, Doug Odell.

Please help us by supporting our project.

We have been working on this film since the middle of summer and have shot a good amount of footage. This includes most of the first and third acts of the film, with production still needed for the second act. We are all so passionate about this project because of the message that craft beer represents. Currently, there is no other industry like it in America that is doing what craft beer is doing. We have already shot in Denver, Portland, San Antonio, Austin, and St. Louis. We have several more production trips planned to shoot in California, Oregon, and North Carolina to continue production. But we still want to hear from you!

We need help raising funds to continue production and move into post production. Our pledge amount is set low because we want to make sure that the amount we are asking for can be met to help us move forward with post production. If the goal is surpassed then we will be able to continue production and even be able to travel to your local brewery. 

Your support means a lot to us and anything that you can give will help our project move forward.

If you are a Brewers Guild or would like the beer culture of your state to be featured in this film there are funding options available for that. We would like feature as much of the American Craft Beer Movement as we can to ensure that we accurately and completely capture this story. We have limited this option to 3. If you would like your state to be featured in this film please move fast. Please contact me if you have any questions about this option. Via Tom@craftinganation.com
