Made with friends who all happen to be wonderfully talented filmmakers, this short documentary intercuts the stories of 5 masters in their craft: a butcher, tailer, barber, midwife and editor, as they each reflect on the nature of a first incision. The film premiered at Sheffield Doc Fest in 2016 and is currently on the festival circuit.
