As storytellers, our purpose is to commemorate and honor lives through moving personal documentaries. We see each film as a chance to etch memories and wisdom onto the canvas of history before they fade away. That is why we infuse our documentaries with creativity, heart, and reverence for the stories we have the privilege to tell.

FAQ
Q
A
Our projects are by application only and we curate and hand-select the projects we accept. Each project is highly personalized, custom designed, and our approach looks more like a high-production value film than a conventional video.
Q
How long does it take to create a docu-legacy?
A
The typical timeline for producing an 18-22 minute docu-legacy project is about three months from start to end. Our team will commence work with you before pre-production to shape the narrative and incorporate your perspective throughout. We then work through pre-production, filming and editing to deliver the final product to you.
Q
What is included in the price for a docu-legacy?
A
We will comprehensively break down the services or elements included in the project cost, such as pre-production planning, filming, editing, music licensing, and any additional features or deliverables your story requires.
Q
Can I customize or personalize my docu-legacy?
A
Each project we work on implicitly requires an ultra-high level of customization, whether it’s tailoring our storytelling approach, incorporating specific themes, or including interviews with selected individuals.
Q
Do I retain ownership rights to my docu-legacy?
A
As our client, you and your family or estate retains the ownership of the final product. We keep backup copies of the work and the raw files, and you retain full rights with no restrictions.
Q
How do I get started with creating a docu-legacy for my family or organization?
A
To begin working with us, we will schedule a consultation and follow with a series of detailed interviews with you or anyone else whom you would like to share details of your story, discuss ideas, or provide information to us. Reach out to contact us and apply.
