At the heart of Liqwood Designs lies a fusion of natural beauty and meticulous craftsmanship, embodied by the creative spirit of Chris Hollinger. With a background in mechanical engineering and mentorship from a master instrument maker, Chris brings a technical prowess and artistic sensibility to each piece he creates. His work, ranging from coffee to dining tables and beyond, encapsulates the essence of Montana’s wilderness, blending wood and epoxy resin to craft functional art that stands the test of time.

The process behind these creations is as captivating as the pieces themselves. As director, Lane Brown captured the essence of Liqwood Designs’ craft. Focusing on the artistry and flow of the creation process rather than the end product alone, the project highlighted each step involved in crafting epoxy river tables.

Brown describes the experience as "extremely collaborative and satisfying," ultimately creating an "aesthetically condensed day-in-the-life portrait" that celebrates the craftsman's dedication and flow state. This approach underlines the shared creative journey, emphasizing the craftsmanship that goes into both the creation of the tables and the storytelling through film.

It’s an homage to the slow, deliberate art of making, showcasing the beauty of creation in every detail.
