St. Louis is home to creators*.
*and thinkers, makers, designers, do-gooders, problem solvers, change agents, supporters, skeptics, community champions, and people that work hard to make their own and others’ lives better.
This Emmy Award-winning short film series spotlights our favorite hometown characters — interesting people doing interesting stuff. From motorcycle mechanics, woodworkers, and welders to bakers, painters, and makers, we think this is the woven fabric that makes our city great.
the thing you enjoy doing can actually be your life... your living
