How We Work

MetaFilter lead me to Rodcorp’s How We Work site, and although it is not the kind of thing we usually point out here at TATT, but although it’s not about specific work, it’s about the process to get us there, and it’s kind of glorious itself.  

From J.G.

We’re interested in the habits, rituals and small (and occasionally big) methods people and teams use to get their work done. And in the specific anecdotes and the way people describe their own relationship to their own work.

Every Aspiring Filmmakers new best friend.
