So many people have opinions about “Hipsters”, but frankly I don’t see what the big deal is. Like any subculture….you like some of the people & some you don’t. Here’s what I know- “Hipsters” are some of the greatest artists & creators in the world… & for this I am most grateful.

Here is the best example of a creative person taking their craft and turning it into a thriving business. Michael Shindler, Co-founder of Photobooth brings us through the process of how he develops films & has a retail shop at the same time.

Who else but Cool Hunting could find such a gem of a creative business??

WE ARE GETTING A NEW NAME!!

Just wanted to let you know that this summer we will be changing our name & adding a sweet new logo (we hope you like it). Look out for the new logo & some deep stories of mind-blowing, awe-inspiring, jaw dropping, independent creative entrepreneurs.

They are Global. They are Independent. They are Creative…. And they are so cool that you would actually want to hang out with them.

peace out!

Roy Slaper, of Roy Denim shares that the only reason he is in the business of crafting denim…. is because it’s fun! Obviously his philosophy works!!

To the guys over at Cool Hunting, thanks for sharing another remarkable film!

Bureau Of Common Goods is certainly on my A-list of film producers. I first heard of them when they released one of my favorite films, Made by hand/No 2 The Knife Maker and I am equally as impressed with their documenting of Olli Salumeria, a fourth generation salumi maker.

I love me some prosciutto, but who knew it could be so fascinating to cut & prepare. This well documented film really captures the passion that Olli Saumeria has for the craft of curing meats, and sharing it with people.

Thanks Bureau Of Common Goods for sharing this brilliant film!

Jake Davis, one of the best (huge fan here) filmmakers you will find around today. In this film, Jake & K-Swiss introduce Masatoshi Uemura, DJ and buyer of Bonjour Records in Daikanyama, Tokyo.

Bonjour Records is a creative entrepreneur’s dream business. Who wouldn’t want to start a business where you can purchase all the things that you love, showcase it in your own place and sell it to others who love what you love (along with your type of music)?

What a sweet business!

Let’s talk cupcakes! You gotta love anyone who has a passion for what they do. The cupcake business is always a popular business to startup (especially in NYC). However, very few start with such love as Robicelli’s. If you have ever tried them…. trust me you would taste the difference!!

Absolutely scrumptious!!! Nice footage, Allison Grasso

Just two words to describe quality hand made goods….TANNER GOODS. Take a look at this absolutely breathtaking film created by Ryan J. Bush. I could not have been more excited to find both these hidden gems!

btw…the film is awesome when viewing with headphones!

Excellent job Ryan, we look forward to more wonderful films!

Never to young to start. Take a look at this clip presented by Helmstyle, our go to resource for up and coming Creative Entrepreneurs. The Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Jack Lowe & Robyn Ross (Director Of Retail) of HUH digital magazine, explains how they began what is becoming a small empire at a very young age.

We are certainly looking forward to the empire growing!

Want to know what it’s like to combine the things you really love & turn it into a business? Check out this film presented by one of our favorite teams over at Copenhagers .

An interview with Bobby Ågren, a fascinating guy behind a shop called Ruben & Bobby, a retro-gaming and toys shop, where you can buy, sell or trade old games from the ’70s ’80s ’90s and in the meantime get a haircut; yes you got it right, Ruben & Bobby is also a hair salon…..pure sweetness!!!

The extraordinary people over at Hypebeast once again shares with us a remarkable film that documents the awesomeness of Palladium boots. Vice President of Marketing, Barney Waters, invites HBTV inside his office for a rundown on what makes the iconic brand tick.

Listen to Barney as he explains the success is in the details.

One of my favorite film directors Jake Davis in collaboration with K-Swiss- Japan presents Tetsuya Okada, owner of Globe Specs who gives an inside look on the classic worldly influences that have shaped his brand and Japanese style culture.

It’s really cool to see how Tetsuya connects with his work. Now this is a way to start a rather traditional business in a creative way!

I am always thrilled when I can witness something being created. The People’s Pennant was so kind to show us how they make some of their well designed pennants.

Take a look & enjoy the process!

Korduroy.tv presents a great film that carefully documents Jeff Yokoyama, the Creative Entrepreneur behind Yoki Shop ,a youth focus clothing brand. What inspires me most is Jeff’s ability to really represent his unique brand. It’s a great film with wonderful insight into the ideas of a true Creative Entrepreneur.

Looking forward to more great films & clothing!

Ok, so for over one year now we have been working on bringing our dream - The yes School, the place for aspiring Creative Entrepreneurs to reality. Many people ask us what’s the purpose of the school? Take a look at this incredible film about Caines Arcade & you will get a clearer picture.

This film that was brilliantly created by Nirvan Mullick shows a heartwarming story about a young creative boy that started an arcade made out of cardboard. We think Caine’s story is amazing & we too will support his efforts- as well as Nirvan.

CONGRATS to both Caine & Nirvan…. from the guys at The yes School, nyc!! Best of Luck!

Simply a brilliant film by Lost & Found Films . Here is the perfect example of what it means to have a business with a soul. Clearly the staff at The P rimeburger love what they do and it definitely shows.

If only all businesses today could have a heart & soul, we would have happier employees & customers. Such an easy premise & yet so difficult for companies to achieve.

The Primeburger is a gem & we are so happy that Lost & Found Films shared there story.
