NEW YORK - Workhouse Publicity invites you to join us for the second annual Home Movie Day designed to celebrate America's home movies. Whether it's on 8, Super8 or 16 millimeter, Home Movie Day honors the celluloid movies of your community. The founders of Home Movie Day know that the amateur film heritage of your neighborhood, city and state is a rich one and their goal is to project those films on the big screen for all to see.

Home Movie Day 2003 corralled over 40 representatives worldwide including Japan, Mexico, Germany, England, Italy, Canada and produced multiple screenings in many cities across the United States. Iconic filmmakers including the Academy Award-nominated Capturing the Friedman's and Stacey Peralta's Riding Giants were made almost entirely from home movies. Beautiful Kodachromes from the 50's and 60's proved essential in storytelling simply because the footage survived!  

What Can I Do? Where?
It's simple: rifle through your attics, dig through your closets, call up Grandma, and dust off your families home movies. Next, contact your regional representative and bring an 8mm, Super8mm, or 16mm home movie to the nearest Home Movie Day event  on 8/14 to see your life's work projected. Will you bring  Christmas 1979? Footage from your hometown July 4th parade? An animal sequel to the Indiana Jones dynasty? If you bring it, Home Movie Day will show it.

WHY?
Because it happens in communities across the country, Home Movie Day screening events renews focus on local heritage and family history, taking us back to a time when Main Street was bustling and the beehive hair-do was all the rage. Home movies are the essential record of our past, with images of people we may know or may resemble and they are amongst the most authoritative documents of our times gone by.

Home Movie Day also provides a splendid opportunity for audiences everywhere to learn about the long-term benefits of film versus video. Veteran Motion picture archivists will be on hand to tell you how to properly store your films and plan for future use. Did you know that your original films can long outlast any video or digital transfer? Don't throw away your film! Check out their website www.homemovieday.com for updates & more information. Press who wish to obtain credentials must send a request on media outlet letterhead. Requests should be faxed to Workhouse Publicity at 212. 645.1950 or sent via email to Devon Mack at mack@workhousepr.com. If you have additional  questions please contact us directly at Workhouse Publicity at 212. 645. 8006.
