Capturing Your Parents' Life Story
Many people think, at some point, about asking their parents what things were really like back then. Mostly it stays a thought. Everyday life, the distance between cities, the reluctance to ask directly, it all works against it. Until it's too late.
Why the conversation is so hard to start
A conversation about one's own life rarely happens on its own between parents and children. What's often missing is an occasion, a frame, someone to ask the right questions without it feeling like an interrogation. That's exactly the role we take on: we lead the conversation, so the family doesn't have to moderate it themselves.
What remains afterwards
A filming day results in a film in which your parents tell, in their own words, who they were and what mattered to them. For children and grandchildren, it becomes a document that lasts, wherever they later live. The Memory format suits a focused portrait made in a single filming day; anyone who wants to bring in more time and material will find more room in Legacy.
Not a performance, a conversation
Most parents have no experience in front of a camera, and that's not a problem. It's not a performance, it's a guided conversation, and the camera is usually forgotten within a few minutes. More on this: FAQ.
