We offer truly cinematic Legacy Films & corporate biographies, perfectly tailored to tell your story. We also specialize in archival & restoration services.
We treat every subject with patience, tact, and time. Our clients are best served when all parties are comfortable and ready to tell their story. We will be there to help elicit information and trigger memories.
Each theme represents a basic aspect of life that is important to all people, regard less of race, culture, or gender. They proceed from the general, to the more profound and specific aspects of your life. We will ask tailored, pre-prepared probing questions that are meant to help you access your memory bank and reveal the treasure of your life stories.
Before we meet for our interview, we encourage you to take inventory of your memories by asking yourself simple probing questions, based on ten primary themes. The core legacy themes are:
Through those themes we have prepared leading questions that will elicit memories and bring you back to the musty smell of a childhood home. Or the first, windowless office you occupied. We all have these memories with senses attached, we just need to find them!

Photographs are keepsakes of the past that evoke memories of wonderful times spent with our family or friends. Most people have treasure-troves of albums lying safely in a trunk or in a cupboard, taken out when nostalgia strikes and looked over fondly. However, these photographs can fade, tear, crease, or get stained with time. Let us help you restore the lost memories, and bring some clarity into the future.
