ReMade by Electromagnate: a Maker Documentary

The guys over at Electromagnate have put together a teaser video for their upcoming documentary about the maker and hackerspace movement. 1 They looking to explain why everyday people are compelled to make thing, invent things, and collaborate with others to give away their ideas for free – and maybe even change the world in the process.

We are currently filming a documentary that explores the state and direction of the Maker and Hackerspace movement in America. We’re visiting hackerspace and makerspaces across the nation in an attempt to show the incredible innovation, creativity, struggles and triumphs that exemplify these spaces. Our goal is to help everyone understand what hackerspaces and makerspaces are doing, how they are doing it and how the Maker Movement is changing the world.

Check out Electromagnate’s website for more information about their project!

    Since this is in the early stages let me start by saying, this is a Smart and Compelling idea. I can’t wait to see what comes of it. I would also encourage you to find the best examples of Makers and Hacker Spaces that are contributing something tangible to their communities. And by community, I don’t mean other like-minded hipster makers. I mean grannies and grammar school kids being impacted for the better by the actions of Makers.

    Keep the faith, Proceed and Be Bold.
