Film Description
Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, Anna Fitch, and showman, Chicken John, originally conceived of ScrapHouse: San Francisco as a way of bringing material reuse onto the cultural mainstage. A team of architects, builders, engineers and volunteers were assembled to see the project to fruition. In the documentary, Fitch tracks the 6-week development and implementation of the project on film, all the way from conceptual design down to the last nail. The documentary originally aired on the National Geographic Channel and is now distributed by Green Planet Films.
