Wild Folk | Short Film

We are happy to share our next 'test project' by one of video producers at Manto. Laura has been working on this short doc since Spring 2023 and is over the moon to finally share it.

A synopsis from the filmmaker:
This film is a story of fifth-generation forester, Marcus Tribe, one of the UK’s last woodsmen. He lives in his wooden yurt on a 6-acre woodland and has spent over 20 years preserving the land and living self-sufficiently. Now 65 years of age and in a time where the Earth is in a global climate crisis, he wishes to share his lifetime of knowledge in hope of inspiring younger generations to reconnect with the land.
