Archival Personal Documentary Film
Role: Post-producer, Editor
In the midst of the 20th century, and throughout much of my grandad Dan Johnson’s life, my great-grandad Everett Johnson wielded a handheld 8mm film camera loaded with color film. He captured stunning video of his world and family and daily life. Scanned sometime in the naughts, the video made its way to me in 2017, where I enlisted Grandad Dan to watch it with me as I recorded his narration where he provided context, character identification, and thoughtful insight, all in his soft baritone. Grandad Dan passed away in 2020, so while he did not get to see this version of the film, his surviving brother and all of my extended family got to enjoy it and remember him and Everett by. I like to think of this project as a trans-generational collaboration in filmmaking.
