About This Movie

Musicwood is an intriguing blend of adventure and political intrigue, woven together through the lens of music. You’ve got these legendary guitar makers—Bob Taylor, Chris Martin, and Dave Berryman—venturing into the Alaskan wilderness, a place sacred to the indigenous people and rich in Sitka spruce, critical for instrument making. The atmosphere feels tense, almost like a heist film at times, as they grapple with the implications of logging and sustainability. The pacing keeps you engaged, alternating between breathtaking scenery and intense discussions that dig deep into cultural respect versus commercial desires. It’s a fascinating exploration of art’s relationship with nature and commerce, with real stakes and heartfelt moments peppered throughout.
