Think About Wood, Think About Metal

About This Movie

So, 'Think About Wood, Think About Metal' dives into the world of Robyn Schulkowsky, an American percussionist whose artistry is, well, fascinating. The film has this meditative quality, allowing you to get lost in her creative process. It’s definitely not your traditional documentary, as it feels more like an exploration of sound and rhythm rather than a straight biography. The pacing is relaxed, giving you space to really absorb her unique approach to music. It’s shot with an artistic lens that focuses on her interactions with instruments—wood, metal and everything in between. You can sense her passion and dedication. It's a deep cut for those who really appreciate the art of percussion and the subtleties of performance.

This film was released in a limited run, which makes it somewhat tougher to find today, especially in good condition. Most collectors are drawn to its unconventional narrative style and the intimate look it provides into the world of percussion. Few copies have circulated since its release, and its absence from mainstream platforms has only added to its allure for enthusiasts of experimental documentaries.
