Scrapped, the Movie

While checking out the Creative Memories site (the company with which I buy most of my supplies from) I found that there is a movie out about scrapbooking called "Scrapped". I investigated further by checking out the website. It looks like it would be a pretty funny movie since it is about this guy that tries to enter the scrapbooking world, even though he does not fit the demographic once so ever. There is one promo video where he talks about how there should be stickers of things like hand cuffs for men, and sections at scrapbook retreats for people like him who don't have kids and who ride motorcycles. There are definetely no embellishments or areas like that in scrapbooking, but there should be to get more men involved!

The movie raises an interesting point that the majority of scrapbookers are women. How often do you see men sit down with their pictures, get out their scissors, and start chatting and snipping away at pictures? Never. Perhaps if scrapbooking was brought to the digital world, then it could become something that would be popular for men as well. I'm sure once they got into it and realized it is not a bunch of women gabbing about their babies, guys would love to create digital stories and timelines of their lives. They already post pictures online, and this would give them a chance to tell more in depth stories. It would be nice to break that barrier to create a diverse community. This would be a challenge though considering the gender gaps there are now with scrapbooking. I'll have to put the movie on my rental list and see what happens to the main character. I wonder if he does get into scrapbooking in the end, or if he just ran for the hills...
