During their twenty-year heyday, 16mm motion pictures were used for a wide variety of purposes, including public relations, fundraising, sales education, training, and motivation. Fred Frechette was fortunate enough to become involved in this field during the height of popularity for the 16mm industrial film. "In making them," writes Mr. Frechette, "we performed the same functions Hollywood filmmakers performed in their 35mm movies. But our films could be made at far less cost-and we probably enjoyed it more". Hollywood-Home Style, by Fred L. Frechette, is an often amusing, generously spirited memoir as the author looks back at his years writing, directing, and producing 16mm industrial films. The journey begins with Mr. Frechette's first script, for Richmond's United Givers Fund in 1960, and follows his work experience through his final effort, for Philip Morris in 1981. Along the way, the author relates interesting and entertaining stories of the frequent trials and tribulations the film crew faced, as well as the jubilant, triumphal moments. Fred Frechette and his colleagues gave every job their best effort. They worked and laughed together for twenty years for the love of the job they were doing. Hollywood-Home Style tells their fascinating and unique story. Book jacket.
