- Originally filmed and released in 2015, I returned to the original footage in January this year after Dad passed away. I wanted to improve on the many things I didn't like about the original version, both technically and content-wise.
I've been working on this every day since Dad died. I think it's been my way of hanging onto him all this time, but now I must let him go by sharing this new version of the film of him talking about his life. 💔
Please film your loved ones so you can watch and hear them talk about their life after they've gone. The value of this film to our family cannot be underestimated.
Thanks for everything, Dad; I love you and miss you so much every day. xxxx

The more love we receive, the harder it is to say goodbye! Such memories are more valuable than gold. May these good memories override your and your family pain!
Philip, I've started my cinematography lollygagging partially thanks to you. Almost 14 years ago I stumbled upon 'Sofia's people' and it left a mark on me, I'm fairly successful today and am even working on film/cgi/commercial productions. In a way you fathered my career, thanks a lot.
May your father rest in peace.
Nothing makes me want to hug my Dad more, and maybe get a bit of his story down on film than watching the raw honesty of your Dad sharing his story with you. Here's to Arnie Bloom, who I regret I shall now never meet, but who I feel I know a very tiny bit now, and clearly he left the world a better place for having been here: his son shows us that. A decent bloke, with a life well-lived, and as all decent people, taken far too soon.
❤My Dad died 30 years ago when I was 26. I still miss him very much and talk to him every day. I don't think he can hear me, but he asked me to remember him. When I play a computer game or flight sim that he would have loved I tell him about it,. He loved cameras so when-ever I get a new camera I always tell him about it. This film is beautiful and touching.
Your old man aside...this is job mastery. You should be well over a million subs with work like this.
What a fantastic tribute to your father. I so wished I had gotten more family footage of my Mother before she passed away. So sorry for your loss
Philip, this honestly touched me so much. The second he said alcoholism I could resonate. I lost my mum to alcoholism. Amazing to have this on film. I hope you’re keeping well, it’s not easy 🤍 but your work is fantastic.
Lovely, Philip. I wish you comfort and peace. ❤
I've just lost my mum and dad, within 6 months of each other... I only have photographs and memories now. This is a wonderful film, you are lucky you have such a wonderful memory.
I am so sorry for your loss. 💔💔
What a lovely thing to have done, thank you for sharing it.
Philip, the way your dad face lit up when he talked about your mum made me smile back. Really touching film and I wish I had one of my father, and why I make lots of rubbish ones and my kids enjoy in late years best to you and yours.
❤ We will never have enough time on this earth with our loved ones. When it's our time, no matter what comes next we will be missed by those who love us. Thank you for sharing these cherished memories with us Philip.
Beautiful ❤
Phillip, most moving and exceptional film I have ever seen. Thank you for this and bless you friend.
💔💔💔
I lost my father in June 2024, he was about same age as ur dad born few months after him. I always wanted to shoot his portraits and tried to capture videos on his birthdays but couldn't film him or record our conversations. And I feel jealous that you are such an amazing son who used his skills to immortalize him for yourself and your whole family. I think every child should do this for themselves.
Thanks for sharing this. Im sure they both are in a much better place than here. May they both rest in peace and may God Almighty bless their souls.
❤️❤️❤️
❤
When your dad was on about his dad reminded me of my mum and dad, my mum did all the cooking and cleaning, I always feel like I’m lying when I say she literally got up at like 5:30am made my dad his breakfast before he went work, cleaning and did housework all day, went my dad came home she would cook his tea, clean the bath after he had used it and waiting for him to come back from the pub and cook his super at like midnight and made she he went bed OK and did that pretty much my entire life.
Just passed a year since my dad died. Thank you for this. Beautifully shot.
My dad had a stroke like ten years ago and couldn’t speak. Driving in to the city this morning I realized I couldn’t clearly remember his voice.
You’ll always have that.
Lovely Philip, his voice lives within you!
I got a couple really great portraits with my dad. But no high quality videos before he passed. Your dad was a good man, and thats lovely. Sorry for your loss.
What a lovely film. I'm sorry for your loss. :(
Beautiful & touching.
This portait has so much heart. I can’t stop tearing up and it makes me feel love. Thank you.
I planned to go back to England from Los Angeles this May to Film my mother. I got the Blackmagic 6k full frame did some test and was ready to go. Unfortunately she passed away sort of suddenly a month ago.
Don't wait guys. These pieces of film are priceless.
I didn't know your dad but this edit shows how much he loved your mum and how proud he was of you and your sister. A perfect way for you to remember him by using the talent he was proud of you for.
Awesome Tribute ... Sending Condolences to you and your Family
My daddo 😔💔🖤
What a kind, gentle person he was.
Powerful film.
What a perfect video, We've been together now! Beautiful, memories flashed before our ears, of the years, where no one stares, or glares, just moves on through time and circumstance, Well at the beginning, wide awake at the end. Thanks, Phillip is very lucky, we all are. Will remember, always. Bye. DAD..............
Great history and amazing memories. How nice you have Portuguese roots, now I call you cousin Philip. Sorry for your loss mate.
Beautiful stuff Philip. A credit to your father’s legacy. His unblinking frankness was equal parts heartening and hilarious. I honestly couldn’t imagine putting two cameras on my own father and getting that amount of honesty out of him 😂
Preserving these stories for future generations of family is so important. We’ve been lucky in ours as my mother has been a hardcore genealogist and writer, who in recent years has collated ‘memory books’ of photos and stories of our grandparents as they’ve aged into their 80s. Sadly all but one now have passed before the thought (and means) to capture video of them and while the desire is there with my sole surviving grandfather, at 94 and suffering increasingly with fuzzy memory and dementia I’ve left my run too late. The best I can do now is take photos, on film, on each visit.
Much love and thanks to you for all you do. Today is my mother’s fifth heavenly birthday.
Condolences, I’m 63 now and my dad passed away when he was 60. I still think about him most days and miss him. That was a great thing to do and a great video.
Thank you so much for sharing this Philip and sending love! I've been talking about filming my Dad for the last 3 years, must do it this year.
Thank you.
Please do, we never know how long we have with them.
Indeed, it won't be the same without him.
Thank you for sharing Philip; this was wonderful. You're a son that any father would be proud to have - Arnie sure was.
Cheers
With tears in my eyes i watched this amazing interview of your dad. Was not easy to make i presume but its fantasticly made.
What a beautifil film Philip. My condolances. I kind of wish I wouldn't have watched it all the way to the very end.Thank you for introducing your dad to us. I have a favourite photograph of my father I took years ago. Even just thinking of him makes me tear up. Thank you!
That was lovely, absolutely lovely.
It was very captivating to watch, it must have been very painful to edit. Very few people get the honour their legacy to be preserved. Luckily your father was among the selected few thanks to his offsprings.
Wonderful film. Enjoyed watching and listening about your fathers life. Thank you for sharing. RIP Arnie
What a powerful film, incredible work as always. Rest in peace to your father. What a wonderful and intelligent man.
How sad to see he passed, I’ve seen him in some of your films from years ago! What a fantastic tribute ❤️
He might have said goodbye to this world, but through your beautiful video the world has now only just met him.
This movie to your father is incredibly moving. Those words and memories beautifully capture the essence of his spirit and the love you shared. "Having an elder in the family is like possessing a treasure." Your father was indeed a treasure, and his legacy lives on through you. Thank you for sharing such a personal and touching moment with us.
What a wonderful tribute to your dad. Thank you for deciding to share it with the world, I'm glad I got to somehow know him through your film.
So very sorry for your loss. What a beautiful tribute. It’s obvious how proud he was of you - and it’s obvious why he was.
Thank you. 😔
By far your best work in many ways, certainly the most interesting and emotional. What a great tribute to your father and family, well done my son!
Thank You for sharing this ❤
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing. My condolences. 🙏❤️
Thank you for sharing Philip. Beautiful and touching.
Very sorry about your loss, Phillip. A friend shot some interviews with his parents maybe 7 years ago and it led to me shooting a 1.5hr interview with my 88 year old grandmother. We lost her last year at 93. Having this interview is such a treat, I can't imagine the regret I would feel if I never did it. Pulling up the project this weekend to take another stab at putting together a final cut, finished in 4K, with touched up scanned photos for cutaways.
We're lucky we're able to capture these moments. Thanks for not only teaching us how to do so, but showing any layman that they could, and should, do it themselves before it's too late. Much Love
I've been following you since some time before Wonder List. I remember your first iteration of this... made so much more poignant now courtesy time. It makes me ache... but legacy is such an enormous gift... and you did your father's memory proud. Good on ya, Philip.
Beautiful film. I thought of my father as I watched this. He passed away in 2017. I still think I didn't spend enough time with him while he was alive. This video helps me appreciate him all over again.
Thank you, Philip, that is a lovely film. Now I'll have to dig out the videos from the trips my brother Garry and I took with our Dad in the mid '90s, and make them into a movie.
Beautiful film
Beautiful piece.
Fantastic, charming, emotional and closer. Beatiful job. We all have stories too tell, and you know how to do it.
Thank you for sharing this, Philip. Beautiful tribute. You miss your father as I do mine.
A beautiful tribute; lovely stories, which made me smile and moved me greatly.
Wonderful video. My condolences to you and all who loved this great man, your Dad.💚
Great hommage and what a strong figure sharing his wisdom of life.
Sad to see it now, might have deserved an earlier release for sure.
thanks and my thoughts are with you and your family finding the strength your father has been showing.
Thank you. The original film has been on my channel since March 2015.
Beautiful film Philip ❤
Thanks for sharing the new version Philip. Good advice. I was sorry to hear about your dad. May his memory be a blessing.
Seeing the true Love on your filming... It's just a beautiful Art tribute ... I'm😢😢😢. All the best for the family. Love from Portugal ❤.
❤sending love towards you and your family, Philip. God Bless. Rest in peace, Mr. Bloom
I'm sorry for your loss. He was still so young!
Sending so much love and strength.❤️
Oh man, Philip, this is the best video you've posted. I loved listening to this story 😊
Amazing video Philip, you know, I been planning to do something like this for quite a few months, I have spent many years beside him when I was 11 up to the age of 17. Just us two. He has so many stories to share that none of his brothers or even my brothers know.
I'll make it happen.... Thank you for sharing this amazing and yet beautiful interview and intimate video of your dad.
I enjoyed it very much.
God bless you, and your family.
Beautiful and touching, Philip. Also inspiring.
Well, Phillip, what an absolutely brilliant piece, as I've told you before, your work is painterly, and this is a stunning portrait of your Dad. I must admit a tear or two came to my eyes when your Dad started to tear up when he started talking about your mum. What a lovely man and such a gentle soul. BTW, I've been filming my 88 year old for about 15 years getting as many stories (he's a great raconteur!) as possible. Again, thanks for sharing such tremendous insight into your father's life. Peace be with you!
May he rest in peace, such a good soul.
Well done Philip...must have been very difficult to go through again but also rewarding for you...such a personal and heartwarming piece on capturing your dad's life and story. A beautiful human. May his soul rest in peace. I wish I had done this with my dad, wanted to but he passed way too early a couple of years ago. At the end of the day these memories are the best thing we can hang on to of our loved ones.
Sorry for your loss this year, a lovely film & thanks for sharing Philip. I hope it’s something now your family cherishes for many years!
Beautiful
Thanks Philip, I very much enjoyed that. Here’s to Arnie Bloom (such a great name!)
Condolences on the passing of your father.
RIP ❤ to your dad.
A lovely tribute and very amazing to watch on both technical and storytelling levels.
Beautiful!
My sincere condolences
Great DAD, Great Idea, Great Video. May he rest in peace
beautiful and sweet film.
❤
Beautiful❤
Beautiful. ❤
Wonderful...
Just beautiful! 👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾❤️ 🏴🇸🇪🇹🇹
This was beautiful.
My condolences.
Aaaaahhhhh come on Philip, you are the best on RUclips...you just are.
Well done, Philip 🙏
lovely
i wish i could make something this beautiful with my old man. i tried but he was sad and i couldnt frame his situation well. Im going to try again . Do come to sydney some time Phillip , you would love the beaches
Thank you very much for watching. You should try something less formal like this. Ask stuff every now and then, perhaps spontaneously on your phone. Maybe with your mum if she’s still around or other family? Something where he is more relaxed and happy?
I’ve been to Sydney many times and have spent a lot of time there. I miss it but I don’t think I will be back anytime soon, it’s just too far away and expensive for me these days.
The disappearing for three hours sounds like something I would do apart from the clever part at the end.
Very nice. 😊
Can you post a template of questions to start with?
The questions are very obvious ones. Start at the beginning and they will come from their answers.
💔 💔 💔
Man he looks just like my dad
