  f the things we take for granted, the written word is possibly the highest on the list. Before Johannes Gutenberg devised the printing press in 1440, there was little focus on or desire for the common person to read, which left a small contingent of individuals responsible for reading and interpreting the materials. In the wrong hands, that interpretation could lead to enormous destruction; in the right ones, prosperity for all. In their feature debut, writer/director team Erin Beckloff and Andrew P. Quinn explore the lost art of typography through the eyes of its protectors – the men and women who strive to preserve the machinery, the art form, and love of typesetting – in their surprisingly charming and incredibly funky documentary "Pressing On: The Letterpress Film".
