What’s Included

A Complete Foundation for Preserving a Legacy

Every Legacy Film begins with a carefully considered foundation. This page outlines what is always included — before any optional additions are discussed.

START THE CONVERSATION

The Core Legacy Film Includes

Every Core Legacy Film is thoughtfully created and includes:

  • Pre-production planning
    Time spent understanding the story before filming begins.

  • Guided questionnaire & preparation
    A structured but gentle framework to help uncover what matters most.

  • One dedicated interview filming day
    A calm, conversational on-camera interview filmed at one primary location.

  • One dedicated B-roll filming day
    Documentary-style footage captured at one or two local locations, where appropriate, including meaningful spaces, photographs, heirlooms, hobbies, workspaces, family moments, and personal details.

  • One pickup or additional story-sequence day
    Additional footage captured where needed to complete the story properly once the film has begun taking shape in the edit.

  • Professional audio capture
    Clean, natural sound recorded with care and redundancy.

  • Aerial or creative camera work
    Drone or creative camera perspectives where appropriate — always in service of the story, never as spectacle.

  • Editorial storytelling
    The complete Legacy Film is shaped in the edit with careful attention to pacing, emotion, accuracy, and authenticity.

  • Short cinematic trailer
    A concise, emotionally engaging introduction to the completed Legacy Film.

  • Premium keepsake delivery
    A premium keepsake box with an archival-quality USB containing a short cinematic trailer and the complete Legacy Film

  • Year 1 archival stewardship
    Secure archival protection included for peace of mind.

OPTIONAL ADDITIONS

All optional additions are discussed during planning and selected only if they serve the story.

  • Some stories are best told through more than one voice. Additional interviews allow family members, colleagues, or loved ones to add perspective, depth, and memory to the film.

  • When a story extends beyond a single place, additional locations can help capture meaningful environments — such as a workplace, family property, or place of personal significance.

  • Short, dedicated recordings created for specific individuals — such as children or grandchildren — offering a more intimate message meant to be received privately, now or in the future.

  • Additional archival-quality USBs presented in matching keepsake boxes, allowing family members or organizations to hold their own physical copy of the Legacy Film.

  • A private, shareable viewing link with optional QR code cards, allowing trusted family members to watch the film securely and at their own pace.

  • A shorter edit drawn from your Legacy Film, intended for private sharing with select family members or close connections

  • A private screening of your Legacy Film in a theatre setting, creating a shared moment of reflection for family and close friends.

  • Professional still portraits captured during filming, designed to stand on their own as timeless images — suitable for personal archives or display within the home.

  • A beautifully produced hardcover book combining still imagery from the film with selected words and reflections, creating a tangible companion to the Legacy Film.

  • A dedicated pre-shoot conversation or written exercise designed to explore themes, memories, and narrative arcs before filming begins that goes even deeper and further into your family history.

  • Structured preparation and on-site teleprompter support for those who prefer guided wording or feel more comfortable reading prepared dialogue.

  • Professional hair and makeup support on the filming day to ensure subjects feel comfortable, confident, and camera-ready.

  • Custom-designed visual elements such as family trees, timelines, or simple graphics that help clarify relationships, history, or chronology within the film.

  • Careful scanning, organization, and light restoration of photographs or documents to preserve and integrate them thoughtfully into your Legacy Film.

  • Some stories require a more layered narrative approach — weaving timelines, voices, or themes together. This option supports deeper editorial craftsmanship when the story calls for it.

  • Additional editorial time for films with longer runtimes, multiple narrative layers, or increased storytelling complexity

  • Subtitles improve accessibility and allow stories to be shared across generations and languages. Files are provided separately so they can evolve alongside future formats.

  • An original musical theme composed specifically for the story, designed to support the emotional tone of the film without overpowering it. This music becomes part of the legacy itself.

  • Optional ongoing stewardship beyond the first year, ensuring stories remain protected, retrievable, and preserved with care over time.

  • A secure digital scan of your will, included on selected archival USBs for private family reference.

  • A separate filmed reading of your will translated into clear, plain language — allowing you to explain your intentions in your own words.
