Father the Flame

Rpphil96 · May 2017

Several of us have seen the pre- release of the documentary "Father the Flame",I enjoyed it but others might have differing opinions,what are your thoughts?

xDutchx · May 2017

I have been waiting to see this doc since 2012, so needless to say, my thoughts are that I am ready to view it in it's entirety.

Woodsman · May 2017

Haven't seen it, been hearing about it a long time.

PappyJoe · May 2017

Saw the trailer. Donated money. Haven't seen anything since.

I didn't attend the premier in Chicago but I understand they are going to tweak the cut they showed in Chicago and do some film festivals before they put out the DVD and downloads.

I've heard it mentioned here a few times but I don't even know what it's about.

Waiting to see it.

mfresa · August 2017

Is this film ever going to be released?

PappyJoe · August 2017

@mfresa - They are waiting for FDA approval. (Just joking).

motie2 · August 2017

Rather than being released, it might escape.....

mfresa · August 2017

I'd love to see it before too long.

Here's a 2014 interview with Chad Terpstra and Jeremy Rush about the pipe smoking documentary, "Father the Flame."

Winton · August 2017

I saw the first viewing at the Chicago Show. There were some really good parts and some that could use some editing. I loved seeing how the briar was harvested, cut and carved.

Everyone at the showing was intent on the sections that covered the Chicago Pipe Show. No, I could not find myself in the video, but I remember them filming in previous years.

mfresa · August 2017

Does anyone know how much money they need to finish the film?

jfreedy · October 2017

So is project dead? Is it ever going to be released?

PappyJoe · October 2017

I beginning to wonder myself. I've donated but haven't seen anything for my money.

jfreedy · October 2017

Yep, not a great ROI on this one.

writingrav · October 2018

Anxious to see it. Anything new on this?

Ive been waiting a couple of years for this one, props to the 6 year guys. I look forward to it’s possible release.

jfreedy · October 2018

We all are, @TaylorJDutton, but I’m not holding my breath. Sounds like this project ran out of steam.

TaylorJDutton · October 2018

@jfreedy i hope they at least release what they’ve finished so far.

jfreedy · October 2018

Yep, me too.

Just happened to see this on the Smokingpipes.com blog this evening. https://www.smokingpipes.com/smokingpipesblog/single.cfm/post/father-the-flame-premieres-chicago-international-film-festival

Looks like FTF will be screening at the Chicago International Film Festival this weekend. Looks like they will be screening it on Friday (10/12) and Sunday (10/14). Wish I had the time to make a weekend trip to the windy city this weekend!

AWESOME!!

jfreedy · November 2018

Has anyone heard how FTF went at the Chicago International Film Fest in October? I see from their Facebook page that at least the directors made it to Chicago for this. So I assume it actually happened. Any word on when us commoners get to see the film?

daveinlax · November 2018

I’d guess they will show the festival cut at the Chicago Show in May.
