About This Movie

Ian James Made is a raw, intimate dive into the life of a craftsman who confronts adversity and finds his voice. Sadiq Norris captures the essence of resilience in a world that seems to be unraveling. The film's pacing meanders like a quiet afternoon in a workshop, allowing the viewer to really sit with Ian's thoughts and process. You get a real sense of the textures and tactile nature of leatherwork, almost feeling the pieces as they come to life. There’s a certain warmth in the way Ian speaks about his passion—he isn’t just making goods; he’s creating stories. It really resonates, especially with the backdrop of the pandemic's chaos. A quietly powerful narrative about dreams, determination, and the art of making.
