Are you interested in making your own films or videos? Do you want to learn more about how to use your camcorder, or how to edit and improve your home videos? Would you like to work alone on your own projects or would you prefer to work with others on a team? Are you interested in writing scripts or narrations? Do you a have a musical talent, or would you rather work in front of the camera? Maybe you’d enjoy contributing by doing research for documentaries or travelogues.
Whatever your interests, experience, or skill level, the Hamilton Video/Film Makers are there for everyone interested in movie making for the joy of it!

The club was formed in 1938 as the Hamilton Movie Club. Only one of the founding members (John J. Carey, FRPS, FSCA) (Passed Away this year) still came as an active member, but several others have seen the progression from 16 mm. through 8 mm., Super8, and now video. Today most members use video in various formats but a handful still work occasionally in film, and many have carried their film roots into the new era. Membership fluctuates, of course, but currently about forty members, from as far afield as Brantford, Markham, Niagara Falls, Simcoe, Toronto, Welland, Woodstock, and even Barrie, attend twelve regular meetings on the first Thursday of every month.

DESCRIPTION

Derek talks to the camera from time to time.  He works in a bakery. Never had a girl, but one friend named Jenny.  Growing up, Derek always had trouble talking to girls.  His friend Jenny is like one of the guys.  During high school he liked a girl named Ana but never got the chance to tell her how he felt about her.

Jenny's has always been friends with Derek and secretly liked him but never told him because he was always fantasizing about Ana.   

Derek hasn't seen Ana since they graduated high school until one day Ana walks into the bakery. Derek is happy to see her and thinks he should tell her but at the same time Jenny doesn't want him to.

Does Derek end up telling Ana how he feels?
