Watching This Will Make You Want to Bake Delicious Bread for a Living | Short Film Showcase

I don't want to say that the bakery is an experiment, but it's more like it's more like saying why not, why not do it right. My name's Stefan Stefan centers, and I'm a baker. I run the wide-awake bakery. My name is David McInnis and my…

A lot of people think bread-making must be incredibly boring. So there's this first year we will come stop by the bakery, if anything, can you, you know, how's it going, man? And they look at you with this way like, like how's your mental health, you know? And kind of figuring it, at some point, I'd be climbing the walls because it wasn't that exciting.

Every day I have to do the same thing over and over again, but actually to me there's a real pleasure that goes back to this issue of practice, where this thing of getting deeper and deeper into something and figuring out that and then my new shove and how it feels. There's always that kind of a sweet spot when you really just nail it.

You're learning a dance and you're thinking about the steps all the time and what stuff am I going to do next. You're so conscious of like, but the conscious of the things you're thinking about what you're going to be doing, what you're supposed to be doing. And when you learn the dance, you just kind of do it. You don't have to think about it anymore.

I think that once you learn it, and once you can just do it without being so conscious of it, then you really start to become it, or it starts to become you in a new kind of way. I think you can really thrive within those boundaries. You've now learned it, and you can now do something new within it. You're working with these microbes that you can't see, in partnership with them, and you're trying to think what would they like, look a little bit like a little warmer.

You're trying to make them happy, and when do you have to get this read out? How strong is the flour this week? So you're trying to balance all these things. So that gets intellectually quite complex, and then when the loaves finally get to that point of being ready to go into the oven, you've done all this very physical work.

It sort of gets progressively finer until you're just putting that thing in. You take that little razor blade and you say, and you're making that beautiful visual pattern. Then you got to catch it when it's at its peak, and you bring it out and it's just full charisma. It's fabulous, and it's a very whole project.

Some objects suggest that the world is actually basically banal, and kind of perfunctory and ho-hum, and they invite kind of indifference, I think it's what these things do. I think that other objects might suggest something more like that the world is full of grace and bounty and beauty, and they invite instead of indifference something closer to love.

I'm interested in making something that invites love as a response. We are fueled by, you know, this incredible energy around here. It's like a magic spot. People are so full of passion to make great food and to really change the way we look at the world right here, right from their own houses, of their own ground. That's inspiring, so it's easy to get up every day.

I think it's go stacks on bloom, and like the fire, it's not difficult. You.
