“Anthony Macera was gifted a video camera in the late 90s. Alongside his trusty sidekick Sandy Girl, he began to capture his life from there. The first tape is titled New Home.”
Filmmaker Mike Macera unearths home movie footage from his father’s first video camera and pays tribute to him in NEW HOME, a new archival documentary by the director of ALICE-HEART. Framed by the first three Christmases at Macera’s childhood home, the film charts the construction of the house itself, the development of the family unit, the milestones of early childhood and the lightning storms over South Jersey. Through Anthony’s eye and viewfinder, we experience the intimacy and joy of fatherhood and the wonder and thrill of capturing it. NEW HOME is a personal reflection on the life of a home and the role of cinema in building it.
