Well produced with fantastic interviews/retrospectives from David, Jed, and countless others associated with the print process. Great insight into the world of woodblock printing. While the "father/son generational gap" mechanic feels forced at times it doesn't actively sabotage the film. The film crew successfully accomplish was they set out to achieve: The passion for this craft from everyone involved.
