Get Your Whole Life Story On Film

Our ancestors' legacies were once captured in handwritten letters, grainy recordings, and faded photographs. Now, we can make short videos as an attempt to honor these traditions - but often fall short of capturing the full spectrum of a life well-lived. After all, can mere minutes do justice to a lifetime of experiences and achievements? 

Welcome to Legacy Library, where every moment matters.

From personal joys to professional milestones, our innovative video platform and storytelling expertise are designed to capture the entirety of your family's history and your life’s work. With our story-gathering and video archiving process, you're not just recalling memories; you're crafting a legacy that withstands the passage of time. From the tender beginnings of personal relationships to the celebrated successes of your career, we're dedicated to preserving every significant chapter. 

Because in the tapestry of legacies that shape us, every thread is essential.

The Blueprint to your Legacy

1. CONSULTATION

Our Creative Producer collaborates with a primary contact (be it from a family or business) to grasp the project's objectives, content, participants, locations, and timelines.

2. ON SITE-FILMING

Camera filming icon

Typically, we allocate 2-3 days for on-location shooting. Keeping our subjects' well-being in mind, we limit individual filming to 4-5 hours daily to prevent fatigue and in consideration of any health issues or accessibility needs.

3. PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTION

Expect nothing less than cinematic excellence. We arrive with a full-fledged film crew and state-of-the-art equipment, aiming to mirror the production quality of platforms like Masterclass. This isn't just about recording; it's about creating an unforgettable experience.

Our Founder’s Story

On a road trip with my dad, a casual remark about his past led to an enlightening conversation. He mentioned meeting my mom at my age, sparking a realization: I'd only ever heard fragments of his life. For the rest of the trip, I found myself asking my dad again and again “And then what happened?” That day, I discovered stories of his college struggles, his first job, and navigating a divorce in the 1970s.

Faced with the challenge of retaining these memories, I felt compelled to record them. Not as a documentary, but as an authentic record of his journey. I envisioned a future where my children could intimately know their grandfather, even if they never met. This longing birthed the Legacy Library.
