Filmed between March and August 2014, “Men in Sheds – The Bookbinder” displays the art and craft of the Design Bookbinder, by following Glenn and his binding of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Truman Capote, which was the set book for the Designer Bookbinders 2014 Bookbinding Competition in the UK.

Whilst showing key aspects of the design and binding process, my primary intention for the film was to portray Glenn’s skill, experience and artistry as well as his dedication to, and passion for, his craft.

Great look into the process of Glenn Malkin, proprietor of Signature Bindings. Sure, lots of fancier equipment the hobbyist won't have, but a lot of details about the process, and Glenn talks throughout.
