I finally told my story...and his too!
I'd been wanting to give something to each of my six grandchildren that actually meant something. Giving them a movie with my story and my husband's will always remind them who they come from and that they are deeply loved.

Great Grandchildren Will Want To Know
Give your mom and dad and grandparents the opportunity to pass on your family history. Someday your great grandchildren will want to know who their ancestors were. How will you tell them? How will you remember?
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?
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.
The best memorial to him ever.
Telling my daughter how much I loved her in my film made me feel so relieved because she will always know she is loved. We also used my husband’s beautiful paintings and art as imagery in my film. It’s the best memorial to him ever.

We ended up finding out more about my father!
Working with Cory and his special technique was an amazing experience. He went far beyond and we ended up finding out more information regarding what happened during the war with my father. Cory is quite the historian! And such love and care he gave my dearly departed mother. With his help she was able to tell her life story! I would highly recommend him and his crew. He also did a fantastic job with my uncle in telling his story. One of a kind man!
