CASTING CALL FOR THE GREAT AMERICAN HOME MOVIE
 
The Great American Home Movie, a feature length documentary, is holding an Open Casting Call on Saturday October 19th, 2013.
 
WHO: You! We are looking for people who would like to be interviewed about what American life was like during the 1940's, 50's, 60's and the 1970's.
 
WHAT: Casting Call for The Great American Home Movie - a feature length documentary that explores American life from the perspective of people's home movies from 1946 to 1976 - the Golden Age of Home Movies!
 
WHEN: Saturday, October 19, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
 
WHERE: Country Inns & Suites By Carlson - Elk River - 18894 Dodge St NW, Elk River, MN 55330
 
WHY: We are searching for people who lived in the United States between 1946 and 1976 and who are at least 40 years of age. A vital part of The Great American Home Movie, a feature documentary film directed by Robert Hanley, will be interviews with Americans who lived during this time - the Golden Age of Home Movies.  We are especially interested in people who took home movies and/or 35mm slides, or were the subject of those movies and pictures. If you remember Mom and Dad getting out the movie camera (or you were Mom and Dad) then want to hear from you!
The Great American Home Movie will highlight America’s “Coming of Age” period. We want to hear about your experiences during this time: the Cold War, the Korean Conflict, the birth of Television and Rock ‘n Roll, Camelot, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Civil Rights Movement, the British Invasion, Vietnam, the Summer of Love, Woodstock, the Moon Landing, Watergate, computers and the birth of Apple and Microsoft.  
What an era of  sweeping change - yet unparalleled stability for average Americans!  It was a revolution in jobs, careers, businesses, automobiles, birthing babies and raising families, childhood, toys, family gatherings, cookouts, picnics, holidays, vacations, schools, sporting events, weddings and funerals – life and living.  What was your part in the revolution during this Golden Age of Home Movies?  Come by and tell your story!  Should you be chosen as one of the featured interviewees the filming will begin in 2014 with a movie release in 2015.  There is no compensation for the interviewees.
The Great American Home Movie has a universal impact and is like no other documentary ever produced.  American families tell their own stories - their hopes, desires, and most special moments. It's America in Red, White and You!
