Arverne Cinema Inside

Handmade with appreciation for little details, artist and polymath Kevin Bewerstorf's filmmaking debut patiently documents the rhythms of his work building and repairing houses in upstate New York. Filmed entirely on his iPhone with music he composed himself, New Kingston moves through the seasons with deep affection for the people in his community in a refreshingly understated portrait of craftsmanship and the satisfaction that comes from a job well done.

World premiere. Post-screening conversation with filmmaker Kevin Bewersdorf.
