The Violin Maker was made in five days for the 2009 International Documentary Challenge (www.docchallenge.org).

We were given the genre of Biography. Our team of three, Dan Thornton, Gabriel Miller and Greg Brotherton, made this profile of a local violin maker with a deep resonance to his craft, Doug Yule.

Chosen among the top 13 of over 140 submissions, the movie won best use of Birography/Character Study and was screened with the other finalists at the 2009 HotDocs Festival in Toronto.

Since then, it screened at the 2009 Port Townsend Film Festival as part of the Docs for the Soul program.

Now we'd like to share it with everyone.

The Violin Maker is now available in its entirety on vimeo.com. While you're there, check out the frenetic productions channel that Greg has set up: http://vimeo.com/channels/67179
