Film­maker John Nakashima’s docu­men­tary offers a rare and very personal perspec­tive of George Nakashima and the work that he designed and produced over a period of 54 years. George did not come to wood­work­ing until his mid-thir­ties after a world­wide search for meaning that lasted for several years during the Great Depres­sion. During his seeker’s journey, he found impor­tant answers that brought him to evolve this new approach to wood­work­ing. It is a time­less story for anyone who has a fasci­na­tion with the creative process. 

Follow­ing the screen­ing, Mira Nakashima will lead a discus­sion and Q&A about her father’s legacy, the ongoing work at George Nakashima Wood­work­ers, and the current project to preserve the Nakashima Family Home.
