Nothing looks or sounds like a handcrafted guitar from the Carmine Street Guitars shop, which is the reason why they are embraced by the likes of legends Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Jim Jarmusch and many more. This documentary captures five days in the life of one soulful shop that stands strong in the epicentre of Manhattan.
The documentary was nominated for Best Canadian Feature Film at the Toronto International Film Festival 2018 and is celebrated for its moving depiction of a shop that handcrafts guitars out of reclaimed wood from old local hotels, bars and churches. In the heart of Greenwich village lies Carmine Street Guitars, resilient to the area’s gentrification, and beloved by its visitors.
