The History Of Concrete

After attending a workshop on how to write a Hallmark movie, filmmaker John Wilson tries to use the same formula to sell a documentary about concrete. Following the finale of his TV series (How To With John Wilson), Wilson looks to the bedrock of his beloved New York City for inspiration and structure. Concrete, the world's most widely used building material, appears as an ever-present life force, and John sets out to make the definitive documentary on the matter. To tell this seemingly drab story, he decides to use the industry-approved Hallmark formula to increase his movie's appeal. But his foundation soon begins to crumble—literally and figuratively—as he struggles to balance artistic freedom with the realities of the modern film industry.
