We are the Two Cowboys travelling the world, in search of people that make things. We showcase the awesomeness in communities all over Canada, U.S. and New Zealand. 

We are a social enterprise. We are funded through donations and sponsorship. All our earnings are applied back to covering our costs of marketing and promoting Producers and inspiring local communities.

Garo at Wildrose Jewellery

The birth of jewellery manufacturing is replacing the craftsmanship of the Goldsmith. Rings are now designed on computers. Milling machines fabricate faultless and perfect copies, on mass, in automated "factories" overseas. Machines do a better job at making jewellery, and it costs almost nothing to put out thousands of items. The smith is no longer required.

Garo's world is disappearing. "People still need to get things fixed," Garo says. "That, machines cannot do, yet. It still makes me useful."

While Garo's world is disappearing, the rest of us are also losing something profound. Soon we may be living in a world with no Goldsmiths. Old-world Artisans like Yanik, are disappearing from our towns and communities. With them, they take thousands of years of knowledge and skills that were honed through generations of artistry.

We celebrate Producers, Production, and the Prime Movers everywhere: People that make things create our society and build our communities. They drive the engine of our world. We should know more about them, and be inspired by what they do. We should learn from them, and discover for ourselves the value of making something.

Our Mantra is: "I Made This". If you make something, we are interested in featuring you on our channel. Please get in touch: http://www.profiledproductions.com & http://www.twocowboysandacamera.com & http://www.thiscannotbeit.com
