Happy Home Movie Day!
Saturday, October 21st is the “official” HMD date for 2023, but like last year we welcome events throughout October and beyond – any day can be Home Movie Day! As many events have shifted back to being in-person, we’ve implemented a new calendar and submission form, all of which can be found at our About Home Movie Day page, along with lots of info about the history of global Home Movie Day and how to host your own. See you over there, and at the movies!
SHARE YOUR FILMS
Rifle through your attics, dig through your closets, call Grandma, and discover your family’s home movies (8mm, Super8mm, 16mm, Video8, or VHS). Drop off film that you would like to share for Home Movie Day Raleigh and A/V Geeks will digitize up to 10 minutes of footage/video. As a BONUS, you’ll later get a free digital transfer (downloadable file e-mailed to you) of the home movie that you shared with us on the screen.
DROP-OFF FILMS AT A/V GEEKS HEADQUARTERS
Choose up to 10 minutes of your home movies on film (that’s roughly 3 (three), 50ft reels of 8mm film) or video tape and bring to:

Some of the footage we digitize for free we will present live online* on Saturday, September 12th for Home
