Being Adoph Gasser

конспект

Nearing the end of his life, Adolph Gasser looks back on a seventy year career as a world class camera repairman, WWII veteran, best friend of nature photographer Ansel Adams, contributing developer of the first Nikon camera and a sales/rental/camera repair store owner who empowered other prominent Bay Area visual artists and inventors to succeed. As eminent domain, the internet and changing technologies threaten everything he has built, he struggles to find a way to keep moving forward. Inspired by his unique stories and abilities, filmmaker and professor John C. Aliano follows him over the course of several years and reflects on his own career trajectory. Ultimately, he learns the greatest accomplishment of the film’s namesake is Being Adolph Gasser.
