### About Making Minimalism

Creating our documentary, *[Minimalism](https://minimalismfilm.com)*, was simple, but not easy. A few years back we jumped in our tour bus (an old Toyota Corolla) and spoke with people around the country about how simple living had changed their lives.

Now, with *Making Minimalism*, we’re deconstructing how we made the film from the very beginning. You’ll get a look at never-before-seen footage as we detail all of our big wins, failures, breakthroughs, and discoveries.
