Presentation
The Home Movie Factory invites you to come and create your own movie, following a simple protocol designed by Michel Gondry, in movie sets built for the occasion.
Just like Jack Black and Mos Def in Michel Gondry’s film, *Be Kind Rewind*, you can make a movie from start to finish in only 3 hours!
Are you interested in participating? If a Home Movie Factory is organized near you, this activity is offered free of charge to everyone, and we recommend that you register in advance to form or join a group of 5 to 15 people.
After an initial tour of the premises, you will move on to “action”, from writing the script and choosing the actors to filming and creating “DIY” special effects on site. No training is necessary; the goal is to have fun making your own movie. A set of sets and machinery, simulating both interiors and exteriors, offers you the possibility to film an infinite number of stories. All necessary equipment is provided for you to be autonomous.
Three hours later, you leave the Factory with a copy of your masterpiece!
