Meet Jack English, a 93-year-old man who lives in a cabin isolated deep in the Ventana Wilderness, USA.

He built a small cabin using materials from the land and milling trees by hand. When his wife passed away from cancer, she told him it was ok to leave  "society" and moved to the cabin full time and continue his unexpected craft of making music happen in his own way.

This is an inspiring short film by Grace Jackson. She captures the grace in a man who has obviously done a whole lot of thinking and reflecting about his life. A lovely film about a man not afraid to go it alone, happy with himself and nature.
