The Call of the Grey is a documentary film examining the resurgence of the miniature painting hobby over the course of the Covid-19 Lockdowns, specifically looking at the games from British publisher, Games Workshop. The goal is to inform the viewer of what the hobby is, the community as a whole, and what makes it such an appealing hobby for so many. In particular, a lot of millennials have found their way back to mini painting, a hobby that many of them had in their younger years, but hadn’t kept up with as the years went on due to time, money, etc. The goal with the film was to present the hobby to the viewer and hopefully give them a base understanding, and in some cases perhaps inspire them to pick up a paintbrush themselves and try it out. I do this through showing off painted miniatures, interviews with fellow hobbyists, and using a variety of physical objects to act as titles, etc., giving the overall piece a far more tangible feel.
