Craft-n-Pride

November, 2011

 The Craft & The Pride is a series of movies made by Movember (more about Movember later in this post) This movie is about Marshall Amplification, a British company, founded by drummer Jim Marshall, that designs and manufactures music amplifiers. Marshall amplifiers, and specifically their guitar amplifiers, are among the most recognized brands in popular music. They were originally based on Fender amplifiers, but had their own sound, and were soon sought out by guitarists seeking that sound and more volume. We love companies who's success is based on their long term commintment to craft and quality. We find this movie very inspiring. 

Movember is an organiztion responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in Australia and around the world. This happens each year in November. The aim of Movember is to raise funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men.

 
On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face and then for the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo growing efforts.
Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.
At the end of the month, Mo Bros and their female supporters (known as Mo Sistas) celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember.
