Great American Home Movie Project

Chesterfield, MO, May 18, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Your family’s home movies might be seen on the big silver screen. Chesterfield Video Services is collecting old family movie films to be part of its feature-length documentary called the Great American Home Movie Project.

Emmett Pyatt, a video services company owner in Chesterfield, and a TakeONE member of Home Video Studio, is supporting this documentary film project. “We tell families that their memories capture an era of days gone by in America. Wouldn’t it be great to share these images with others before they disappear all together?” Pyatt says.

Robert Hanley, the founder of the Home Video Studio and an award-winning film and video producer/director, is currently archiving thousands of home movies to be part of his feature film. This documentary is believed to be the first of its kind. Home Video Studio is America’s leading video production company, with studios located throughout the United States, two in Canada and one in Sweden.

“What I’ve seen over the past 20 years of transferring film is spectacular and it is something I think everyone should see,” says Hanley. “I’ve watched America unfold before my eyes through home movie footage of backyard barbeques, dance recitals, family holiday celebrations and even favorite vacation spots.”

These 8mm, Super 8 and 16 mm home movie films offer a slice of Americana dating as far back as the 1920s. Chesterfield Video customers, who are transferring their home movies to DVD, are being asked to participate in this Great American Home Movie Project as a way to preserve nostalgia.

“Film and VHS tapes do not have a long shelf-life and can easily deteriorate,” adds Pyatt. “This film is a great way to preserve a part of American history that is literally fading away.”

Customer home movies will be archived and their original film will be returned intact. They also receive a price discount for participating in this film project.

The Great American Home Movie Project documentary is hoped to be released in movie theaters nationwide. For more information on this project contact Chesterfield Video Services.
