Father the Flame film
This is just a small preview of a new documentary a group of young people in Michigan are making about pipes, pipe making, and slowing down and enjoying life, called "Father the Flame". I don't know about you, but just the little bit I saw of this film made me want to sit down, pipe in hand, and watch a whole bunch more of this.
These guys are trying to raise money to complete this film by early October, and I think the finished film will be even more beautiful and more moving than it already is.
If you want to help these guys out (and all of us in the pipe community really should get behind a project like this), you can go to their indiegogo.com campaign page here: Father the Flame film
Spread the word and help these guys out! It will be so worth it.
Thanks,
Sorringowl

Just made a contribution. Suggest everyone do the same, even if it's $5. Every little bit helps.
The film looks like a great idea. Bringing the gentle art of pipe smoking to the masses.
In this day and age, we need all the positive PR we can get.

This film is really becoming a big deal. Three people have posted the same thing in the last couple of weeks. I hope it reaches fruition.

It's cool and all but they have to raise 70,000 to make a documentary and only have 750. I dunno, do you guys think they can do it?

They have a tough row to hoe. I doubt that there's a NEA grant in thier future. They should be pitching this to the big guys like Stokkebye, C&D and the like.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the great posts and support!
CaCooper, you da man! Awesome, brother.

Assaad, Just saw that myself. Very cool!

Yes! If regular guys like us help them out. For what you would pay for a couple of tins of toby (and god knows I have more than I can smoke right now), you can help these guys create something of lasting value that sheds a positive light and educates people about our community. Hell, I would just like to watch a feature length film, all about pipes, to have something to smoke a bowl or two by!

My son is a cigar smoker and he posted it on his facebook page without me even telling him about it. I thought it was great...what I had seen.
