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 Core Legacy Film begins with a carefully designed foundation that includes:

• Pre-production planning and guided preparation

• A 75–90-minute Discovery Call

• One dedicated interview filming day at one primary location

• One dedicated B-roll filming day at one or two local locations, where appropriate

• Up to one additional pickup or story-sequence filming day, where needed

• Professional lighting and audio capture

• Documentary-style footage of meaningful spaces, photographs, heirlooms, hobbies, workspaces, family moments, and personal details

• Aerial or creative camera work where appropriate

• Editorial storytelling shaped by the story itself

• A short cinematic trailer and the complete Legacy Film

• A premium keepsake box with an archival-quality USB

• One year of archival stewardship

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

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

Additional locations or filming days can be added if needed.

Yes. While we are based in London, Ontario, we work with families and organizations across Canada.

Travel requirements are discussed during the discovery process and factored into the project scope where applicable.

Yes. Most people are not accustomed to being filmed, and that’s completely normal.

We guide each interview with care, patience, and experience.
For those who prefer more structure, optional script support and teleprompter services are available.

Yes. Many projects include additional family members, colleagues, or loved ones.

The number of interview subjects is discussed during planning so the story can be structured thoughtfully and the scope remains clear.

Privacy is fundamental to our work.

Legacy Films are created for families and trusted circles, not for public release.
All footage is handled securely, and sharing options are always controlled by the client.

Your completed Legacy Film is delivered on a high-quality archival USB housed in a premium keepsake box.

Additional keepsake copies can be created for family members or organizations.

The Core Legacy Film begins at $9,750 .

Because each project is custom, final investment depends on scope — including additional interviews, locations, filming days, or editorial complexity. All options are discussed transparently during the discovery process.

Yes.

Organizations often commission Legacy Films to preserve:

• Founder stories

• Leadership transitions

• Retiring executives

• Institutional history

• Multi Generational Wealth Planning Roadmaps

These films serve as internal cultural records — not marketing assets — and help preserve continuity, values, and institutional memory.

It starts with a conversation.
