Your Questions, Answered

Some stories are meant to be remembered.
Others are meant to be experienced again.

  • A Legacy Film is a personal documentary designed to preserve a person’s story, voice, and presence for future generations.
    It goes beyond photographs or written records, capturing how someone speaks, reflects, laughs, and tells their story — the elements memory tends to lose first.

  • Because memory fades in ways we don’t expect.

    We often remember faces long after voices disappear. Photographs survive, but cadence, tone, pauses, and the memory of a loved ones laughter will slowly soften with time.

    A Legacy Film preserves what cannot be written down:
    what their voice sounded like, how they spoke when thinking, how stories unfolded in their own words.

    It allows future generations to experience a person as they were — not as a summary, but as a presence.

  • Legacy Films are created for:

    • Individuals and families

    • Founders and leaders

    • Retiring executives

    • Organizations preserving institutional history

    • Multi-generational families and wealth planners

    Anyone who believes certain stories deserve to outlive the moment they were told.

  • Legacy Films vary in length depending on the story, number of voices, and overall scope.

    Rather than targeting a specific runtime, we allow the story itself to determine the length. Our goal is to create a film that feels complete, thoughtful, and true — not rushed or padded.

  • Every Legacy Film begins with a carefully designed foundation that includes:

    • Pre-production planning and preparation

    • A guided questionnaire to shape the narrative

    • One filmed interview with a single subject

    • One filming location

    • Documentary-style B-roll captured at that location

    • Professional audio recording

    • Drone and creative camera work when appropriate

    • Editorial storytelling shaped by the story itself

    • A premium keepsake box with archival USB

    • One year of archival stewardship for peace of mind

    Film length varies depending on the story and scope. We focus on creating a film that feels complete and true, rather than targeting a specific runtime.

  • Most films are captured in the subject’s home or a location that holds meaning — a workspace, studio, or place connected to their story.
