In these films, there are no filters, no poses - only real emotions, mistakes, laughter, and the raw beauty of unplanned events. The beauty of 1975 Somerset, Kentucky, was in its authenticity and imperfections.

Slices of life in a historically rich community Somerset, Kentucky, boasts a long, storied history with pioneering roots and tight-knit, generous people. These 8mm movies serve as moving pieces of a collective memory of life in Somerset during a time when technology had yet to grip society with its vice-like grasp.
