A Film About George Walker

There is a Kickstarter campaign on to help finance a film entitled “Woodwriter: The Wordless Art of George A. Walker.” The project was initiated by photographer and filmmaker Jeff Winch.

George is a good friend of ours, whom we see at pretty much any book arts event we attend in southern Ontario (and beyond… I ran into him once at Gaspereau Press’s Wayzgoose in Nova Scotia). He has published several wordless books, each one expressing its story in a series of original woodcuts, and this is the focus of the film.

The campaign runs until October 1^st 2019, and is currently almost halfway to its $5000 target. If you want more information or would like to contribute, you can use the link above.
