THE PUTTER

As the modern world has moved toward machine-made goods, Ernest Wright & Sons of Sheffield (1902) is one of the last remaining hand manufacturer of scissors. This film documents ‘Putter’ Cliff Denton who is a ‘putter togetherer of scissors.’ Filmmaker Shaun Bloodworth captures the story of how these household tools are put together and perfected in this beautiful, wordless short which went viral in the US creating orders and saving the manufacturer from closing its doors.
