DB Thesis Binding — Crafting Heirloom-Quality Work

Jeremy, the owner of DB Thesis Binding, has been hand-binding books for years, carrying on a tradition that started with his father. When we first talked, his service had a global reach but no way to show the craft behind it—no video, no visuals, just text. Together, we planned a story that would feel as timeless as the work itself: the clunk of old machinery, the fine details of stitching, and the sense that every thesis is not just a book, but an heirloom. Over one evening we filmed Jeremy in his workshop, capturing both the precision of the process and the pride that goes into every binding.
