Rewind Pictures hits the theater!

Yesterday was a total blast! We spent the day shooting interviews and footage for an upcoming gala tribute film!

The New Group has hired us for the 2nd year in a row to pay tribute to the recipient of their annual Michael Mendelson Award for commitment to excellence in theater. This year's recipient is Robyn Goodman, an extremely successful, inspiring theater producer. We sat down and interviewed her as well as a handful of her adoring friends and colleagues including Jeffrey Seller, Kevin McCollum, Geoff Rich, and Ruth Hendel. We asked them to tell us why Robyn was so special to them and in pure theater fashion it turned into a brilliant comedic drama.

Robyn and The New Group joined forces a few years back on Avenue Q. Lucky for us, we also got all access to the cast of puppets on Avenue Q (Off Broadway now) to help us record an additional amusing tribute to this well loved woman.

We can't wait to edit the film! Check back soon to see final film!

The gift that keeps on giving

It sneaks upon us every year-the frantic holiday shopping! We deliberate over what to get our loved ones. We look for something that will have personal meaning, that will bring enjoyment and hopefully last forever. Well, this year Rewind Pictures has the perfect gift idea for the holiday season or really anytime you want to give something special to your loved ones.

First and foremost, our films and montages are obvious great gifts for the wedding couple, bar/bat mitzvah boy or girl, parents' anniversary, milestone birthday, etc! What says you care more than commissioning a documentary of your parents' lives together or the Love Story of the bride and groom?

If you are looking for a great gift on a smaller budget, you might want to start by transferring all of your old home video to DVD and hand them out to your loved ones as gifts. Most formats currently holding our precious family memories are no longer in use on an every day basis so we never get to watch and reminisce. For a really affordable price, we will transfer all of your old video onto DVD with a customized DVD menu. You are guaranteed to sit in front of the TV during the holiday season for years to come and "oooh" and "ahhh" and "eeek" with your family!

Tis the season! Spread the joy and preserve those memories forever. Just think, then you will be super ready when the time comes to make a Rewind Pictures film for one of you family's special events!

Tweet Tweet

We put it off as long as we could, but we finally gave in and joined the Twitter world.

Wow, do I feel old! Kind of like my mom when she started using the internet-"what's that?" "how do you do that?" But I must admit I am starting to catch on to the lingo and to getting a little pitter patter in my heart when someone new starts following me!

So come join the bandwagon and follow us: rewindpics !

There is so much information out there waiting to be tweeted!

Turkey does it!

In honor of the spirit of Thanksgiving, we'd like to take a moment to look past the turkey and stuffing....

Every year Thanksgiving gives us the opportunity to pay tribute to those that are important to us-- all of those that made pilgrimages, sacrifices and life changes at the chance of bettering their lives and in turn, ours. For most, this is our family and loved ones.

Florence and I started Rewind Pictures because of our dedication to helping people preserve their family histories. Whether we make a film or montage veiled under the guise of a big celebration or special award, underneath it all is the recording of the stories and images that shaped your family trees. So this year we give thanks to our families, loved ones and you who believe in the importance of recording family history like us.

We hope that you all take time this Thanksgiving to reminisce, look through old photo boxes and home video, swap funny stories and keep your family histories alive.

Gobble gobble.

NYC Wedding Venue Find!

I was filled with delight on Sunday when my dear friends tied the knot at one of the most stylish weddings of the year!

The held the wedding at a great venue called The Norwood. A private club drawing its membership from the creative arts, Norwood is nestled in a townhouse amongst the hubbub of 14th Street and the Meatpacking District. We slowly creeped our way up the townhouse throughout the night-cocktails in the parlor, then a yummy 5 course dinner one flight up and an all out dance club on the 3rd!

They have recently starting holding non-member events on Sundays when the club is closed and let me tell you, it is a perfectly romantic, NY chic place to say your vows. According to the recent bride, they were overly welcoming, accommodating and inspired in making the couple's wedding vision a reality. And to top it all off, Andrew D'Ambrosi aka " I have a culinary boner!" from Top Chef is the chef de cuisine and the sometimes-resident DJ, Christopher Sealey rocked the house as we danced our little hearts out in pure delight.

Shh, don't tell anyone I let this secret out of the bag....
