Antique machines have unique characteristics through the sounds they make, their shape, form, origin stories, and use. Patina Powerhouse is dedicated to the documentation of functional historic machinery through cinematic digital video. The purpose of our work is to allow our viewership an opportunity to appreciate these machines in any way they see fit, which includes:

-For the simple joy of the sights and sounds of something old and rare functioning.

-Because of the value of keeping our historical past alive is inspirational and informative.

-Educating those who are looking to learn more about the items that used to make the world work as well as any precursor technology to how the world works today.

-Appreciation and enjoyment of cinema video
