Experiencing Interruptions?

Mira Nakashima

Mira Nakashima spent much of her life living and learning in her father, renowned woodworker, George Nakashima's shadow, but when he passed, the business was in jeopardy due to clients cancelling orders because they wouldn't be 'authentic'. It became Mira's decision whether or not to continue her Father's legacy and she did not only that - she made it her own. This is apparent in her impeccably designed furniture that respects the life and will of the wood.

Director Statement

I love producing documentaries on individuals who have made positive impacts on the world through passionately pursuing their dreams. As a neurodiverse individual, I believe it is important to promote acknowledgement of the fact that despite our differences, we can only truly succeed as a species if we work together. This includes not only maintaining the peace, but educating ourselves and one another about other walks of life.
