This short film by Hillman Curtis starts out strong with a fast-paced blow by blow account of all the partners who have served time at the Pentagram machine since its conception in 1962. The second half takes it down a notch with some insight into the daily goings on, a quick look at the various studio spaces, and acknowledges a genuine preoccupation of worrying who the next partner will be. Ending with a slow, overly nostalgic slideshow of employees who stare contemplatively either at the camera or into space, it makes me wonder if they're still thinking who the next partner will be, or mourning a recent death.
