Three formats, three reasons

Most families come to us for one of these three.

Solo Interview

A living subject, their own voice.

A grandparent, a parent, an aunt who keeps the family history. One person on camera, telling the stories they’ve never fully told. Best paired with the Chapter or the Archive tier.

Roughly 70% of what we shoot.
Tribute Film

A milestone, a whole family.

A 50th anniversary, a retirement, an 80th birthday. The subject on camera plus family members who know them best, woven into one film. Best paired with the Chapter or the Archive tier.

Event-driven — book ahead of the date.
Memorial Film

When it wasn’t recorded in time.

Woven from those who loved them — siblings, children, grandchildren, lifelong friends. A film for the service, and for the family to keep. Fits any tier.

Priority scheduling for services.

A free call to figure out the fit.

No pitch, no pressure. A real conversation with Patrick about the subject and what matters to you.
