ABOUT:
Post-film Q&A with filmmaker Michael Macari
From award-winning producer, writer, director Michael Macari, himself a native of Stamford, STAMFORD: A SMALL TOWN REMEMBERS is a production of Stamford-based EVTV in association with the Stamford Historical Society. STAMFORD, chronicles the rise of an agrarian community on the shores of Long Island Sound, through its development as an industrial powerhouse, to the world-class small city it is today.
In Stamford: A Small Town Remembers, Macari teamed up with long-time friend and Stamford Attorney, the late Joseph Richichi to bring to light the testimonies of immigrants and war veterans, to in essence tell the history of their hometown. With the on-camera testimonies of over forty citizens and celebrities and over seventy contributors of home and archival photos, film and materials, Macari and Richichi captured the essence of the now City of Stamford, in nostalgic fashion, for the ages, as told through the eyes of its citizens from the twentieth century.
