Once I had completed the most basic research and transferred Angela’s movies to video, I had to figure out how to keep track of the content of her collection. Though I only later learned about the importance of metadata and the availability of online archivist classes , I began simply and naively with a system that has served me well. I created a basic Filemaker Pro database with screengrabs from the home movies and just enough data to let me quickly find movies by persons featured, keywords, and/or their location on specific film reels or transfer tapes.

Jeffrey Velazquez, our 1st AD and a great filmmaker in his own right, took this super 8 film detailing all the craziness happening behind the scenes that I didn’t even know about.
Another short film from the Gorilla Film Factory.?جø¬? This is your car on drugs.
