WE TELL STORIES
About OUR Film
Carving Joy, a short documentary, tells the story of Colorado artist Scott Harrison. As a 17-year-old, Scott didn’t want to be in the military, but he wanted to do right by the country he loved. Deployed to one of the most hostile military outposts in the country, Con Thien, “the Hill of Angels,” he drowns out the constant incoming attacks with a small music box and a vision of a spinning carousel in a mountain meadow. Returning home, Scott relies on his military training in how to escape and evade enemies to deal with his PTSD. As a form of self-healing, he begins carving wooden animals for a junked carousel and brings his visions during the war to reality.
“A machine that transmits wonder to everyone who rides it” - Doug Cosper
