"HIVE" is a heartfelt documentary short that follows the story of Hank B., a Pittsburgh-area beekeeper and skilled carpenter whose passion for honey bees extends far beyond conventional beekeeping. Against the backdrop of buzzing bees and vibrant blooms, "HIVE" provides a touching portrait of Hank's love for his winged companions, showcasing his dedication to sustainability and the sweet alchemy of spinning honey. The doc is directed by Ryan Matthew Rust and beautifully captured by cinematographer Ryan Kroboth. "HIVE" (25 min.) will be followed by a behind-the-scenes short about the sound design process for the doc, and a moderated panel discussion with Rust, Hank B., and others involved in the filmmaking and/or beekeeping will provide further insight into these processes.
