Plot
The show revolves around the cinematic adventures and less-than-perfect real life of 8-year old Brendon Small, an budding young filmmaker who makes movies to escape from the frustrations of his everyday life. Brendon lives with his recently divorced mother, Paula, who endures his filmmaking obsession as she muddles through single-parenthood. Brendon writes, directs, and acts in his short films, usually enlisting neighborhood friends Jason and Melissa to participate. While he can be shy and unassuming in school and on the soccer field, when he gets behind the camera Brendon can make Orson Welles look like a wallflower.
History
Home Movies originally premiered on the UPN television network in April 1999, but was canceled after four episodes. Cartoon Network later acquired the series and ordered additional episodes, and on September 2, 2001 the series became the very first program broadcast on the [adult swim] block.
