In the mid-western U.S. state of Minnesota, most residents own a cabin - some of them, on the water or buried deep in the woods. While some cabins are dilapidating after years of neglect, others were poorly built to begin with. With so many cabins needing restoration work, it can be a massive opportunity for builders. And in Prior Lake, Minnesota, brothers Chase and Brock Jurgensen are those opportunistic builders. Chase usually leads the projects, and big brother Brock finds creative uses for reclaimed wood in each of those builds. Together the brothers are a 'dream team' that can transform any old lodge into a new, functional and beautiful home in the wilderness. Written by TvSeries Fan

During the “Made in Germany” tour, Swedish director Jonas Åkerlund filmed two acclaimed Rammstein concerts in March 2012 – each for an audience of 17,000 at the Bercy Arena in Paris. In the resulting film (with 16 songs from the entire repertoire), Jonas Åkerlund takes a radically new approach to capturing the emotion and thrill of Rammstein’s live performance. Jonas Åkerlund: “We shot two nights in Paris, and we had 30 cameras, so that gives you 60 angles, plus we shot a dress rehearsal for close-ups. That gives you a massive amount of footage. This is a whole Rammstein-show, and I take the footage and cut it with the same precision that I would a 3-4 minute music video. Even with a big crew of editors, it took us over a year to nail down the edit. Looking at it now – that is the strength of this project. It really brings the show alive and shows what Rammstein is all about."
