“The belief that people in the Valley have, Prickly in particular, is that they can make their best life. Not only can they make it with bricks and mortar. They can make it with social organization, they can make it with family groupings, community groupings, organizational groupings, with tradition. The thought is ‘we can rise to the highest level by really understanding and making what we need’”.
— John Connell, Founder of Yestermorrow Design/ Build School
“In our new age of documentary, there is wealth of resources available to students and scholars in the field of architecture. There have been prime examples of both experimental and countercultural projects that have been the subject of serious films. Whether the subject is Jean Prouve’s house, which he designed and built for himself, or the work of the experimental builders at Drop City, there is much to explore and enrich our understanding of alternative approaches to architecture. However, there is no great example of a documentary devoted to the activities at Prickly Mountain in Vermont. The fact that Allie Rood is most capable and most committed to this project is a gift to scholars.”

“The trailer certainly gives a sense of how much fun everyone was having, including in making the film. I can’t wait to see the finished product!”

“I discovered this community almost by accident, but immediately knew there was a story here. Filmmaker Allie Rood grew up in this community, and has spent 5 years researching and collecting interviews. Her understanding of the Design/ Build movement and its origins is a beautiful offering for the making of this film.”
