StockFilm Origin Story
If you venture to the busy and bustling neighborhood of the North side of Chicago, you'll encounter something special. Amid the hustle and bustle, StockFilm.com shines brilliantly, committed to preserving, digitizing, and sharing those magical, long-lost treasure- the 8mm home movies of yesteryears. A creation inspired and fueled by a relentless passion for storytelling and a pure desire to connect with the past, StockFilm.com, founded by the enterprising Phil Maher.
Let's travel back in time together; back then, Phil's late grandad, an amateur photographer, loved strolling around his Chicago community capturing those memories he cherished. Whether it would be ordinary events or exuberant vacationing activities, everything got transformed under Phil's watchful eye via an old reliable film. Wish you could go down that nostalgic lane one day, right? Yes, Phil felt it, and that too so ardently. As days flipped into decades, hundreds of adorable memory boxes became one, somehow ending up hidden treasurers in some familial storeroom attics.
And lo, what emerged took Phil for a giddily blossomed, tinkling journey throughout life, reaping dots interconnected into generational stories and belonging, unfolded before him was their precious and personal life canvasing Chicago, leaving warm tingly blanks- his older generation, filled to be discovered.Oh. You gauged right by the far - this didn't feel like mere preserving their heritage - its essence conveyed transitional connections impregnating importance. Watch your breath- in his heartfelt sense of commitment, driven only to share-fueled Phil further toward that moment we found- forming the strong foothold under which is celebrated and proudly enjoyed: the StockFilm.com which aims not at individualism; rather - common ground & connected family. Underneath them beat the real pulses that bled his heart as a deeply bonded unit from then long.
