__________
A short documentary featuring Wilson's master glove designer and builder Shigeaki Aso accompanied by a secondary piece featuring the build process. Shot over the course of a year in Japan, Chicago, Florida and Arizona, the film follows Aso as he works to research, design, and distribute the custom baseball gloves to some of the best players in Major League Baseball. From the selection of premium leather in rural Japan, to the process of the gloves being made by hand, to personally working with players in the offseason at Wilson headquarters, to finally delivering the gloves in hand to the players at spring training, this film documents the entire process of the legendary Aso and gives a window into this master craftsman.
