The Presidents’ Tailor

We are saddened by the news of Martin Greenfield's death today at age 95. He was a kind and generous man whose infectious smile brought warmth and happiness to everyone around him. It was a great honor and pleasure to follow Martin and his family with our camera over the past seven years. We hope our film The Presidents' Tailor pays tribute to this remarkable human. If you would like to organise a screening of the film, please contact us here. For more details about Mr. Greenfield's remarkable life, please read Alex Traub's touching obituary in the New York Times.

Yesterday former US Secretary of State Colin Powell died of complications related to his COVID-19 infection. He was one of those rare cases of someone who was vaccinated coming down with the virus. I won't get into Powell's career merits and controversies. But I will share this little clip from my upcoming film "The Presidents' Tailor" in which Powell gives a beautiful speech in honor of his friend and tailor Martin Greenfield on the occasion of Martin's 90th birthday party in 2018. Enjoy!
