907’s Own

907’s Own is a well produced glance into a subculture many of us aren’t familiar with. The section on Josh Boots was outstanding and cut deeply into the heart of what it means to be a working artist in Alaska.

For me, the film served as a reminder that everyone has the potential to be far more possessed of gifts than I might imagine.

It’s a little weird that this was produced by Shopify, a Canada-based e-commerce megaglomerate, instead of some gritty local filmmaker.

Whatever. Patronage is patronage and this film has some heart and art to it, I’m glad it was made.

Hey Matt. I mentioned Shopify in this post, am I supposed to disclose that I use Shopify to sell things online? Is that a journalist thing I should do?
