If you haven’t seen Brick By Chance And Fortune: A St. Louis Story, the documentary about St. Louis bricks, I highly recommend checking it out when it screens on December 14th at The Pat Connoly Tavern in St. Louis (6400 Oakland Ave, St. Louis 63139). The movie starts at 7pm and is Free!
For his first feature-length documentary, Bill Streeter, creator of the internet video program and blog Lo-Fi St. Louis, chose a subject that, on the surface may have seemed like an odd choice: Brick, or specifically, St. Louis’ distinctive red brick. Streeter got the idea for his doc when his out-of-town friends kept commenting on the beauty of St. Louis’ brick buildings. The resulting film, Brick By Chance And Fortune: A St. Louis Story is proof that in the right hands, a film about a subject that may seem narrow, in this case building material, can transcend...

This review originally ran when Brick By Chance & Fortune: A St. Louis Story played at the St. Louis Filmmaker’s Showcase
As a native St. Louisan, I guess I’ve just taken the red bricks that constitute much of the structure of our city for granted. But according to Brick By Chance And Fortune: A St. Louis Story, a perceptive new documentary by Bill Streeter, we have a rich and unique heritage of bricks to be proud of; beautiful red ones that are a result of the ‘Clay Colossu’, the abundance of Mississippi Valley red clay here that was so important to the clay-working and brick-making companies that were such a big industry in our city beginning in the nineteenth century. One’s enjoyment of Brick By Chance And Fortune may depend on how much you want to hear academics speak about bricks and it seems at first glance...

Bill Streeter is the award-winning producer of the internet video program, Lo-Fi Saint Louis, which showcases our city’s best musicians, artists and burlesque queens. For his first feature-length documentary, Streeter chose a subject that, on the surface may have seemed like an odd choice: Brick, or specifically, St. Louis’ distinctive red brick. Streeter got the idea for his doc when his out-of-town friends kept commenting on the beauty of St. Louis’ brick buildings. The resulting film, Brick By Chance And Fortune: A St. Louis Story is proof that in the right hands, a film about a subject that may seem narrow, in this case building material, can transcend its limitations and entertain and inform (read the Wamg review Here). It’s an outstanding film and after seeing it, you will never look at our city’s buildings the same way again.
