Home Movie Day 2009: October 17

Home Movie Day PSA via YouTube

Home Movie Day is important because our lives, our recollections, and our truth is recorded in home movies. One day, what the heck, c’mon! -Steve Martin

Sadly, I won’t be hosting a Southwest Virginia Home Movie Day this year.  Instead, I’m focusing on distribution efforts for my upcoming film about my grandmother’s home movie collection, For Memories’ Sake.

There are many ways, however, to participate in this year’s International HMD activities, both in person and on the web. Check out the many other locations for Home Movie Day 2009, this year’s revised and updated film transfer guide, and Home Movie Day’s Facebook page.

Small format and Super-8 enthusiasts may also be interested in a post I wrote recently for Self-Reliant Film on Super-8 Resources.
