COLONIAL GLASS is a short video-portrait of one of the industrial manufacturers on the Williamsburg, Brooklyn waterfront. The video celebrates the potential pleasure of manufacturing jobs and viability of urban industry while recognizing that, in a gentrified neighborhood, most workers cannot live where they work.
