Description
Unsure of what to do after the conclusion of his essential HBO show How To With John Wilson, first-person filmmaker John Wilson enrolls in a workshop on how to create the perfect Hallmark movie. He then attempts to apply what he’s learned to a new project: a documentary about concrete. This omnipresent, overlooked building material leads him down a mind-bending array of rabbit holes.
