Legacy Videos & Life-Story Films

A life story, told in their own voice. We make personal documentaries your family will feel every time they watch.

Who legacy films are for

  • Parents and grandparents whose stories, voices and wisdom the family wants to keep
  • Families honoring someone who has passed, with a film that celebrates a life
  • People facing illness who want to share their own perspective while they can
  • Families who speak Spanish: legacy films can be made in Spanish, the language of the person telling the story
What is a legacy video?

A legacy video is a short personal documentary of someone telling their own story: where they came from, what they lived through, what they believe and what they want to pass on. A modern autobiography the whole family can keep.

How a legacy film is made

Every legacy film starts with an unhurried interview. When our founder made one for his 96-year-old grandmother, he shaped two and a half hours of conversation into 20 minutes about who she was, her wisdom and what she leaves behind.

Questions Families Ask

It depends on the story and what your family wants. As one example, our film for Abuelita Betty turned a two-and-a-half-hour interview into a 20-minute film.

Yes. Our founder grew up in Mexico City, and our Abuelo Cundo legacy film was produced in Spanish.

Yes. Our film for Garrett Smith celebrates the life and legacy of a Saratoga Springs native.

 

We come to you, throughout the Capital Region and the Tri-State area.
