The Museum of Home Video is 90-minutes of found footage for stoners, seekers, archivists and drinkers. Every Tuesday at 7:30p PST, the Museum and its viewers gather on Twitch TV to watch pirate television for the soul.
In addition to the Museum of Home Video’s weekly found footage celebration, the MoHV channel is also home to a number of like-minded programs—all dedicated to the intersection of art, archivism, and the pursuit of a good time.
Bret Berg, the Museum of Home Video’s LA-born Creative Director, has been a video store manager, a film distributor, a college radio DJ, a film programmer and a non-profit founder. With the Museum of Home Video, Bret shares his enthusiasm for finally watching anything he’s ripped over the past 20 years—while inviting fellow download culture obsessives to join the party.
Museum Producer Jenny Nixon, Jersey-born (but 19-year Angeleno), has been an art director (Fantagraphics Books, NY Press), and an event producer (Felt Club), craft maven, shop owner, TV reviewer, and lifelong pop culture fanatic. With the Museum of Home Video, Jenny hopes to continue her life’s passion: fostering inclusive, enthusiastic communities centered around the sharing of cool shit.
Museum Producer IVOR (International Voice of Reason) is a video editor/motion designer by trade and has been making weirdo radio on KXLU since 2000. He joined the Museum of Home Video to curate and host MUSICVIDEODROME, the drunken store-brand MTV style show—but he won't shut up about design ideas and stupid promos, so they made him a producer.
IVOR has a fondness for exasperated groans, bad cats, & tangled yarn.
“The chat on Museum of Home Video is roiling and rollicking fun. The worse the material, or as Bret says, “the more mediocre,” the more the chat bubbled with smart-assed remarks. I joined in. It was like being part of a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode. I was Tom Servo with a bunch of Joel Robinsons trapped on the Earth-orbiting, Satellite of Love.”
