The makers of home movies is similar to that of a diarist: they both seek to record things as they happen. However, while the written diary is a conscious reflection on what has already transpired, filmmaking is an immediate recording launched at the push of a button.

Filmmakers shoot things that are "worth filming" that is subjects that are important, interesting and funny. However what is it that defines something as important, beautiful, interesting or funny?

One moment is captured by randomness. And then another and yet another is captured subsequently fixing those moments as the only way it could have been. Could it have happened differently? Home movies feature a veritable of fact-images.
