“Maker” is a feature-length documentary on the Maker Movement and its impact on society, culture and economy .  From the producers of the internationally acclaimed “Design & Thinking,” “Maker” looks into the current Maker Movement – a new wave of Do-It-Yourself and Do-It-Together culture fueled by passion and powered by the advent of new technologies.

The “Maker Movement”, sometimes called the “Third Industrial Revolution,” subverts traditional manufacturing by building on innovative concepts such as open source, local manufacturing, crowd funding, and digital fabrication. Breaking the hobbyist movement stereotype, “Maker” delves deep into this ecosystem of design and manufacturing in the Internet era. The film explores the ideas, tools, and personalities that are driving the Maker Movement – and returns with a timely snapshot of one of the transforming influences of the current age.

Key figures behind headline-making projects, daily practitioners, and observers of the movement piece together what this ecosystem looks like, and present insights on how it can impact society, culture and the economy all around the world.
