About us
The same friendly owners, a new name.
Forget-Me-Not Media is Ellie and Dave, a husband-and-wife studio that has been digitizing Alaskans' memories in downtown Anchorage since 2012.
formerly Home Video Studio AK
The short version
A decade of awards. A longer list of thank-yous.
Since 2012, this studio has transferred Alaskans' tapes, films, photos, and recordings to digital: through weddings and memorials, estate boxes and audition deadlines, one carefully handled order at a time.
The name changed when Ellie left the national franchise after ten years. The owners, the studio, the fast turnaround, and the fair prices didn't.
Co-owner
Ellie Brollo
Milan → the world → Anchorage
Ellie was born in Milan, Italy. She earned a business degree from Bocconi University and an MBA from London Business School, and built a career across five countries and three continents before landing in Anchorage.
In 2012, following her passion for video, photography, and preserving memories, she opened the Anchorage studio and was professionally trained to digitize every older format of video, audio, and photographic media. Along the way she picked up the franchise's worldwide "Rising Star" award and Hanley Awards for Best Sports Video, Best Documentary, and Best Use of Post-Production.
Her editing work includes The Nome-Golovin 200: Legacy of Champions, a full-length documentary on the history of the oldest snowmachine race in Alaska. You can find examples of her work on the studio'sYouTube channel.
Co-owner
Dave Singyke
writer, photographer, builder of things
Dave moved to Alaska with his family as a child and studied journalism at the University of Alaska Anchorage, following a natural talent for writing and photography. His resume is the Alaskan kind: associate editor for a chain of seven weekly rural newspapers, administrator at Southcentral Foundation, crewman on a commercial halibut boat, housemover, and owner of a one-man graphic design business.
His short story "Mother's Hands" was published in the Alaska Quarterly Review; he's rewriting a novel he drafted three decades ago, writes the occasional poem, and likes to build things: cabins, boats, furniture. He joined Ellie in the business of preserving memories, and yes: for whatever reason, Barack Obama follows him on Twitter.
