Note from the director:

"The Cuemaker" is NOT a technical documentary that describes the various processes of making a cue. Avid billiards enthusiasts or other cuemakers looking to learn the specific details of making a pool cue should take a step back and understand that it is about the characters, journey, and philosophy behind making a pool cue that this film investigates.
