YOUR STORY BEGINS WITH A CONVERSATION
Our first step is always listening. Whether through a guided interview or our AI intake app, we begin collecting memories, context, values, and tone. This is not a template. It is a guided collaboration.
You’ll fill out a thoughtful questionnaire to help shape the emotional tone and style of the documentary. You choose whether this project is celebratory, contemplative, raw, or joyful. You control the atmosphere and the voice.

CO-CREATION, GUIDED BY INTENTION
We provide visual reference questions, music palette ideas, and structural storytelling options. Whether the subject is a war veteran, teacher, artist, or entrepreneur, we build the narrative to highlight their essence.
Some families want the entire process to remain private until the funeral. Others wish to create a living record to be enjoyed across generations.
Our team works with families or legal representatives to ensure that any posthumous releases are carried out exactly as intended.

VR AND IMMERSIVE MEMORY
We have added 180° and 360° interview capture to allow family members to re-experience their loved ones in immersive settings. Soon, we will integrate dual-sensor volumetric scanning to preserve full 3D likenesses.

THE TIME CAPSULE
Each project is delivered with a handcrafted physical time capsule:
USB drive with final videos
Printed biography book (adult, teen, and child versions)
Engraved QR card linked to the online legacy page
Optional QR-etched stone for urns or tombstones
This object is made to live on a bookshelf or mantle, passed down or hidden until the right moment. It is as much an heirloom as it is a digital archive.
CAPTURING THE PERSON, NOT JUST THE STORY
Our shoots often span multiple locations such as homes, neighbourhoods, and workplaces. We gather a deep variety of footage: cooking, walking the dog, turning pages of old journals. Every detail adds depth. The three-camera interviews are lit to cinematic standards, with audio mixed for film. The subject is treated like the central figure in a deeply personal documentary.
Contextualizing a Life
EVERY STORY, WITHIN ITS WORLD
We do not just present facts. We present a transformation. With the subject’s permission, we talk about hardships, turning points, and personal growth.
This is not always about perfect people. It is about people who lived, changed, loved, and left their mark.
We aim for honesty, compassion, and clarity while balancing legacy and learning.

Family Capsules
STORIES THAT BRING GENERATIONS TOGETHER
Beyond individuals, we offer full-family sessions. These projects capture snapshots of your entire family, year after year.
Imagine a series titled: The Petersons 2026.
Each installment becomes a record of change, achievement, and growth. These are joyful, evolving capsules that show how lives intertwine over time.
Multi-Generational — Everyone’s story preserved.
Emotional Moments — Genuine connections captured.
Personalized Keepsakes — Films & digital archives.
Timeless Legacy — Stories for future generations.
MEMORY MESSAGES
Included in every package is a private, final video. The “If You’re Watching This…” farewell is recorded in solitude, with no crew present, just the subject, the lens, and their final thoughts for loved ones.
These videos are delivered only after death, when permission and timing allow. They are often the most treasured part of the entire experience.

AN INTELLIGENT LEGACY
For those who wish to preserve not just voice but interaction, we offer optional AI avatar creation. These digital representations can answer questions based on real stories, real facts, and the real person behind them.
The narrator of our welcome video is one of our earliest examples, a grandmother immortalized through voice, story, and love.

ONGOING CONNECTION
Each capsule includes a digital legacy page. Photos, videos, writings, and timelines are hosted securely and can be updated with new stories if the family chooses. Each year, families can record new material and expand their capsule. The story does not have to end.
