So through a strange twist of fate, I got hooked up with a writing gig over at a website called Dapperism.com, and it turns out that the site is full of avid pipe smokers. Yesterday, this post appeared on the home page about a documentary in the works called "Father the Flame", which is a documentary about pipe smoking, pipe makers, and the art of relaxation that comes with smoking a pipe. Thought you guys might find this cool. Check it out!

I think that getting information about pipe smoking out to the public and having them see that we are not a bunch of nicotine addicted fiends and that we are gentlemen and ladies of leisure will help to crush a lot of stereotypes. I am excited as well!

Not to highjack this thread but do you know who sings the song in the trailer? With the female vocals?

Nice. Looks like it will be good. Format reminds me a lot of the ski videos that small artists are making right now, e.g.:

A very interesting trailer. I'm also excited to browse that website as well. If the website is promoting a documentary like that, it definitely is worth a look in my book.

Wow!, looks like a amazing flick, Really interesting to see some of the history and unique pipes from around the world and the Chicago Pipe Show. I will be keeping my eye on that.

I agree, this looks great!
From what I gather it will only happen if they can raise enough money to make it. Sort of like kick-starter. http://www.indiegogo.com/fathertheflame

Maybe all of us pipers and pipesmagazine.com or sponsors could help get it going?

Awesome! I am actually from Michigan and lived 5 mins from Negaunee where that pipe maker is. This is the first time I have heard of him.

Even if you can't drop money on it, at least share the link everywhere you can. Supporting independent film is cool anyway, and this one is about pipe smokers! It's a chance to give a new audience respect for our hobby (lifestlye, religion, affliction, whatever).
