These up-and-comers want to be not only educated but also entertained, which is why moviemaker Jeremy Bout and his team are creating story-driven media to capture the attention of these malleable minds and direct them to the amazing world of manufacturing. Bout, producer and host of Edge Factor, which has filmed from mountain tops, motorbike trails, and music studios, uses compelling storytelling and graphic imagery to capture the attention of the gamer generation. The film *Metal & Flesh*, for example, follows the path of two amputees—a snowmobiler and soldier—who turn to design software and machine tools to develop a flexible prosthetic that allows them to continue to participate in the extreme sports they love. “Here is an example of how manufacturing redefines what is possible. It’s an exciting world to be part of,” Bout said. Another exciting part of the Edge Factor portfolio is eduFACTOR, a Netflix-style library of resources developed to teach students STEM concepts that are relevant to their everyday lives. Now, a partnership with Mastercam, a CAD/CAM software company, is elevating the eduFACTOR effort to new levels. Working together, the companies in 2016 will be focusing on the film *Masters of Resonance,* which puts the spotlight on guitar and drum manufacturers empowering world-class musicians. In addition, the crew will be producing three new films featuring students working on parts for NASA and the International Space Station, as well as life-changing inventions with MIT, and sustainably powered vehicles. They also worked together on several eduFACTOR resources, such as the “Geek Out” technology video series and hands-on CNC machining and 3D printing projects. “The need for manufacturing jobs over the next few years will be high, and partnering with Edge Factor allows us to help tell stories and create resources that inspire the next generation of our industry,” said Meghan West, President of CNC Software Inc./Mastercam.   [Learn](https://offers.edgefactor.com/tools-and-pricing) more about how Edge Factor can help you inspire the next generation of makers.  SHARE THIS STORY [Share via Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.edgefactor.com%2Fmanufacturing-goes-hollywood) [Share via Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.edgefactor.com%2Fmanufacturing-goes-hollywood&text=Discover+Manufacturing+Jobs+with+Cinematic+Films) [Share via Email](mailto:?subject=Discover+Manufacturing+Jobs+with+Cinematic+Films&body=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.edgefactor.com%2Fmanufacturing-goes-hollywood) [Share via LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.edgefactor.com%2Fmanufacturing-goes-hollywood&title=Discover+Manufacturing+Jobs+with+Cinematic+Films&summary=The+need+for+manufacturing+jobs+is+high%2C+and+Edge+Factor+is+creating+cinematic+films+that+inspire+the+next+generation+of+creators.+) Related Post [![](https://blog.edgefactor.com/hubfs/Discover%20the%20Hidden%20World%20of%20Manufacturing.jpg)](https://blog.edgefactor.com/behind-closed-doors-discover-the-hidden-world-of-manufacturing) ## Behind Closed Doors: Discover the Hidden World of Manufacturing [![](https://blog.edgefactor.com/hubfs/Blog%20Feature%20Images/RenfrewLarnark_Blog%20Feature%20Image.png)](https://blog.edgefactor.com/explore-careers-in-hospitality-with-new-edge-factor-media) ## Explore Careers in Hospitality with New Edge Factor Media [![](https://blog.edgefactor.com/hubfs/Filming%20with%20Wolfman_Blog%20Feature%20Image.jpg)](https://blog.edgefactor.com/new-media-captures-the-essence-of-a-career-in-culinary-arts) ## New Media Captures the Essence of a Career in Culinary Arts Popular Post [![](https://blog.edgefactor.com/hubfs/Social%20Media%20Misc/SMM%20Images%20Summer%202022/2022%20Indigenous%20Peoples%20Day%20SMM%20Collage_Facebook%20Shared%20Post%20Image%20-%201200x630.jpg)](https://blog.edgefactor.com/seven-lessons-learned) ## Seven Lessons from Indigenous Peoples in Skilled Trades [Edge Factor Team](https://blog.edgefactor.com/author/edge-factor-team) [![](https://blog.edgefactor.com/hubfs/Marketing/Blog%20Images%20(Online)/Career%20Ready_Blog%20Feature%20Image.png)](https://blog.edgefactor.com/what-it-means-to-be-career-ready-and-how-to-get-your-student-there) [Thought Leadership](https://blog.edgefactor.com/tag/thought-leadership) ## What It Means to Be Career Ready and How to Get Your Students There [Jonny Emmanuel](https://blog.edgefactor.com/author/jonny-emmanuel) [![](https://blog.edgefactor.com/hubfs/Toolkits/2026%20Toolkits/2026%20Nurses%20Week/Nurse%20Week_Announcement.jpg)](https://blog.edgefactor.com/nursing-a-career-journey-rooted-in-compassion-and-connection) ## Nursing: A Career Journey Rooted in Compassion and Connection [Edge Factor Team](https://blog.edgefactor.com/author/edge-factor-team) [![](https://blog.edgefactor.com/hubfs/Toolkits/2026%20Toolkits/2026%20Apprenticeship%20Toolkit/Apprenticeship%20Email%20Banner.jpg)](https://blog.edgefactor.com/celebrate-national-apprenticeship-week-with-edge-factor) ## Celebrate National Apprenticeship Week with Edge Factor [Edge Factor Team](https://blog.edgefactor.com/author/edge-factor-team) [![Edge Factor Logo](https://blog.edgefactor.com/hubfs/logo-footer.svg)](https://edgefactor.com/) #### About us Edge Factor equips educators and inspires students and job seekers with the largest known library of career multimedia.
