At the height of his career, Dante Marioni is a world-renowned glass artist whose mastery of Venetian techniques has made him a legend in the studio. But at 60, a series of personal and physical setbacks—including the loss of his friend and mentor, a debilitating arm injury, and the departure of his trusted assistant after 30 years—bring his work to a pause.
Being Centered follows Marioni as he confronts loss, reinvents his process, and fights to return to the furnace. What unfolds is not just a comeback, but a powerful transformation—an artist rediscovering purpose and proving that even after everything fractures, the fire can still burn.
