I visited my grandma recently, and she showed me some 8mm film her family had shot in the 40s and early 50s in their hometown of St. Charles, Illinois. I cut up some of the best bits and put some of my music to it.

The first reel was shot when her brother was home on leave from the Navy during WWII. My grandma was about 11–she’s the figure you see rubbing her hands together.

This second reel was from the springtime in Illinois, made to show off my great-grandmother's garden. My grandma is the blond girl at the start in the black outfit.
