Filmmaking duo Stuart Miller and Claus Stangl have created a stunning short portraying the hardworking Coopers of East Glasgow.
The Cooper was shot in the wee hours of a few ice cold mornings at the Fishers Cooperage in East Glasgow. Narrated with an original poem by Dario Stangl, the film is a gritty window into the work of Coopers.
The Cooper has won titles like Best Cinematography at the Cannes Indie Shorts Awards and the IPFF Most Wonderful Film Award as well as being selected as finalist in many more.
We’re super excited to share their latest short film – a poetic portrait of the hardworking Coopers of East Glasgow.
