The Barn Raisers

Directed by Kelly Rundle
Documentary Feature
USA | 56 min | 2017

Produced by MidAmerica-Emmy nominated Kelly and Tammy Rundle, “The Barn Raisers” tells the fascinating and true story of vintage barns and the mysterious men who built them. Barns were constructed by farmer-craftsmen, professional builders who traveled from job to job and even architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Benton Steele and African-American Wisconsin round barn builder Alga Shivers. “The Barn Raisers” examines barns through the lens of architecture and paints a cinematic portrait of an enduring cultural icon.
