HANDMADE FUTURE follows artisans in six countries protecting heritage, confronting complex middlemen, and advancing responsible trade—pushing back against fast, cheap production to quietly restore a frayed world through beauty and human connection.

Kirsten and Brandon Dickerson (founders of A&N) are at the helm of HANDMADE FUTURE, the first ARTIST & NOMAD feature film production (formerly called MIDDLEMAN.) Their partnership as filmmakers ensures the blend of creative storytelling and visionary leadership, grounded in decades of experience in both film and social impact initiatives involving artisans and people living on the margins of our global community.

HANDMADE FUTURE will be traveling the world in 2026 for film festivals and special events. We are in the final stage of post production and we need your support to finish the film so it can take off and soar! Donate below or email us for more details. Thank you!
