The FILMMAKERS

Meet the extraordinary team who brought Pressing On: The Letterpress Film to life. 

Andrew p. Quinn - Co-Director

Andrew is also the co-owner of Bayonet Media, located in the heart of the midwest, Indianapolis, Indiana.

Erin Beckloff - Co-Director

Erin Beckloff is a letterpress printer, filmmaker, and graphic design educator. Erin is an assistant professor of graphic design at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where she revitalized the Curmudgeon Press type shop and developed letterpress courses.

She studied letterpress through practical application and the shared knowledge of master printers, including the talented folks at Hatch Show Print.

Kevin Grazioli - Producer

Kevin is an Indianapolis-based producer with Michigan roots. He enjoys the challenge of bringing to life projects from the funding stage through production and distribution and often works alongside advertising agencies and national clients in his role as Bayonet Media’s Sr. Producer. He previously served as executive producer of the Emmy-winning documentary Seeing Stars in Indiana and has won several other Emmy and Addy awards for his work. Kevin enjoys the technology-distant sport of rock climbing and spending time outdoors among the mountains. If you want to talk about the iconically designed Eames Lounge Chair, Kevin is your guy.
