A parent or
grandparent’s stories
Their childhood, the people they’ve loved, the traditions they’ve kept. A chance to ask the questions you’ve always meant to ask.
Legacy videos · The Legacy Project
Their life story.
In their own words.
A legacy video is a personal film about someone’s life. We record a guided conversation and weave it together with family photographs and home videos, so their stories can be heard, seen and shared.
For parents, grandparents, and anyone who wants to share their story with the people they love.
The stories that feel like them.
Stories for the next generation
Who is a legacy video for?
You don’t need an extraordinary life or a special occasion. The everyday memories can mean the most.
A parent or
Your own life,
in your own words
Share the experiences that shaped you and the things you’d like your children or grandchildren to know, in a voice that’s unmistakably yours.
A birthday, anniversary
or a new chapter
Celebrate a person or a shared life with a film the family can enjoy together and return to over the years.
A legacy video is something you can make and enjoy together, now.
What is a legacy video?
A conversation.
A film to keep.
Think of it as a small, personal documentary. Their voice carries the story; photographs and home videos help bring it to life.
- Their voice and memories
- A guided interview about the people, places and moments that matter to them.
- The photographs behind the stories
- Family photographs, home videos and other personal archives that add meaning and context.
- A finished film to watch and share
- Conversations and memories, thoughtfully edited into a digital video for you and your family.
How it works
You don’t need to know
where to begin.
No finished script. No perfectly organized photo collection. Just a person and a few stories you’d like to keep. We’ll help you find a starting point.
We get to know you.
Tell us who the film is about, who it’s for and what you hope to include. We talk through the approach and timing together.
We gather the pieces.
Together, we choose photographs, recordings and topics to explore. You help decide what belongs in the story.
We have a conversation.
We guide the interview with questions that invite memories. There’s no script to memorize or performance to give.
We bring it together.
We edit the interviews and family materials into a film, then review it with you before preparing the final version.
There’s room for the little things. A favorite recipe. How they met. A story that always makes them laugh. You can help choose the topics and let us know what they’d prefer to keep private.
A few things you may be wondering
Let’s make it
feel a little easier.
It’s okay to come with questions.
That’s where we can start.
Is a legacy video the same as a memorial video?
A legacy video usually centers on a living person sharing their own memories. You can make it at any stage of life. A memorial film honors someone who has died, using photographs, recordings and stories from the people who knew them.
What if I’m nervous about being on camera?
You don’t need to be a practiced storyteller. We guide the conversation with questions, so you can focus on the memories instead of what to say next. Let us know what would help you feel comfortable when we first talk.
Do we need lots of photographs or home videos?
Start by telling us what you have. Photographs and recordings can enrich the story, but you don’t need to organize everything before getting in touch. We’ll discuss which materials would suit the film.
How long is the film, and what does it cost?
Basic is $2,500 for up to 30 minutes of video, Enhanced is $5,000 for up to 60 minutes, and Premium is $10,000 for up to 90 minutes. Each package includes a different number of interviews, review rounds and delivery formats. Optional add-ons and travel are outlined with the packages below.
Compare legacy video packagesCan we make one for a birthday or anniversary?
Yes. A milestone can be a lovely reason to bring a story together. Tell us the date in your first conversation so we can discuss what’s possible within the schedule.
