Video interviews with the elders of your family whether made into a book or film will become a treasured heirloom for your family forever.


Why would you have your parents interviewed?

digitize your photo collection

Your parents know your family’s stories.

They know in detail who your grandparents were and the challenges and triumphs that your ancestors experienced in creating a better life for you.

Your parents also know the stories and names of the people in that old photo collection. If your parents don't pass on the stories, you'll have to! 

Time Flies

Don’t be like those people who have waited too long to record the stories of their family. Alzheimer’s, dementia, strokes, hip replacements, and heart attacks can instantly steal your loved ones and those stories are lost instantly.

By having your parents and grandparents interviewed on video, you’ll have a film that will be the most amazing gift your family has ever received.
