INSITE
Accomplishments
Founded in 1990, (by
Bill Shepard) INSITE exists to Honor the film, and those
responsible for its creation, to Inform members about all
aspects of the film to enhance their appreciation of it, as well as
to Influence public and media perception of the film, to
assure its recognition as the classic we know it to be.
INSITE has published over
1,900 pages (over 80 issues) on the film since 1990.
INSITE is proud to have
successfully accomplished several worthwhile projects,
including:
An annual Somewhere in Time Weekend at
Grand Hotel, Mackinac Island, MI each October, since 1991. There have been 20 such extraordinary events. We celebrated the film's 30th Anniversary in October 2010.
We've been
joined by SIT Celebrities each year, most notably Christopher
Reeve, in 1994 (Event Video #3), and
Jane Seymour in 2002. (See SIT
Event DVDs in the Collectibles Store.) Jo Addie, INSITE President/Editor, has also held other events to celebrate the movie in Chicago and Los Angeles.
A permanent monument
in the form of a beautiful plaque bearing the "Is It You?
Scene at the site of
Richard and Elise's first meeting, at the Mackinac lakeshore, unveiled in 1993.
(SIT Event DVD #2)
INSITE
celebrated the film’s 15th Anniversary in Los
Angeles (1995) when Jane Seymour and 18 other SIT Celebrities
joined us for the festivities (SIT
Event DVD #4). And then in 2000 we held three
celebrations for the 20th Anniversary!
In
2002 Jane Seymour attended the SIT Weekend at Grand Hotel. Enjoy every great moment on SIT Event DVD #6 “Jane
Seymour Returns to Mackinac.
Our proudest moment yet:
INSITE funded the Star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Christopher Reeve, dedicated
April 15, 1997. (Event DVD #5)
INSITE co-sponsored a
Walk
of Fame Star for Jane Seymour, unveiled on April 20,
1999.
INSITE
has raised over $20,000 for spinal
cord research in honor of Christopher Reeve, donated to
CRPF.
INSITE has been acknowledged by Universal
Studios for helping to make SIT a classic, on the SIT Collectors
Edition DVD (released in 2000) in an unprecedented Fan Club
segment. Jo Addie, INSITE President since 1999, is
responsible for getting Universal to create the DVD, which has 3
1/2 hours of bonus material. She and Bill Shepard (INSITE
Founder) appear on the DVD. Jo also worked on SIT and
has been friends with Chris Reeve and Jane Seymour since.
