Come spend time with Dewey Thompson at his well-worn home nestled in the mountains of Sugarloaf Hollow, Kentucky. For decades, Dewey has made chairs, and in this short film, we watch as he transforms a tree he swiftly felled into a sturdy rocking chair. He hews, notches, and weaves with rhythmic skill as he shares stories about a lifetime spent in Appalachia. At 80, Dewey isn’t one to retire: “If I ain’t workin’ on one, I ain’t satisfied.” One of the earliest films produced by Appalshop, this is a straightforward portrait of a man and his craft.  SB
