Sweet old 8mm film and Super 8mm film prevail and filmmakers still love making movies on film! The equipment is not hard to find, and we'll tell you where to find film and how to rehabilitate hardware. Making moving images on film is fun, beautiful and long-lasting. We recommend that whenever you videotape a person or event, you also take a few moments of movie film for the great-grandchildren. Our site will help you learn how to preserve your home movies, shoot new films, record the culture, show the images. Brodsky & Treadway and IC8 bring you this site to educate, network and encourage you, whether you are a fledging filmmaker, established media artist or beginning a family geneaolgy, tribal history or neighborhood archive. We are glad you came to visit; your movies are important!

These FILM frames are photo-chemical repositories of information which ENDURE when stored COOL and DRY; real film should not be confused with video or other electronic technologies which change with the marketplace. So to preserve your culture: TAKE FILM!
WHAT's this concept "LITTLE FILM?"
LittleFilm is our word to describe motion pictures made by individuals for the love of it. We love the subject being filmed and the act of filmmaking. LittleFilm contains extraordinary experiments and artistic expression. LittleFilm also means home movies: people loving what is going on around them in their family or community and filming to honor and preserve the experience. 8mm film gave people access to moving images decades before camcorders were invented. Today, people choose 8mm film because they find it more beautiful, flexible, touchable and permanent than newer electronic moving image media. We love the filmmakers, the subjects, the act of filmmaking. We believe that the continuity of individuals filming needs to be showcased and encouraged.
