“Dave, thank you so much for this, you have done a great job with my film.“
What’s the cost of waiting too long?
Many people get caught up in the hustle of daily life, making it hard to take the time to record their own story – or someone else’s.
Without an easy way to document these unique journeys, you might end up:
❌ Missing the chance to preserve your voice, laughter and gestures for future generations.
❌ Missing the opportunity to share your unique perspectives and insights.
❌ Feeling regret that your stories were never told or remembered.
❌ Missing the chance to connect your family through your shared history.
❌ Leaving your loved ones with an incomplete picture of your life.
❌ Allowing your unique magic to go uncelebrated and unheard.
Capturing life stories in film should be effortless, but many people don’t know where to start – what to ask, how to shoot, or where to find the right help.
Some try writing down memories or piecing together photos and journals, only to find these efforts can’t fully capture the essence of a life well-lived.
“I’m so glad I completed my story.
Sadly, the elderly friend I mentioned passed away suddenly yesterday morning. I’d planned to show him my films that afternoon—too late!
Thanks for everything. I’m so pleased I did it.”
Different stories. Timeless films.
We’ve created many beautiful documentaries for Kiwis, celebrating life at every stage.
Whether you’re in your twenties, forties, sixties, or eighties, your story is unique and worth preserving.
Whatever your journey looks like today, we’ll craft a film that captures the moments that got you here and turn it into a timeless treasure.
“the process was straight forward & easy & the product speaks volumes for Dave’s professionalism. It’s a priceless memento.”
Every story starts with three easy steps.
“I was blown away by what memories Dave was able to stir from mum. And it was such a priviledge to be there and see mum glowing in all the attention and fuss over her.
If you’re on the fence or thinking you may do this – please don’t delay – contact Dave today.”
The Legacy Film.
I provide the full interview (approximately 1 hour), a 15-minute Director’s cut – perfect for the kids. And the very special Legacy Tribute Film.
The Legacy Tribute is a professionally edited 6-minute film that blends highlights from the main interview with beautiful moving images recorded on the day, supplied photos, and a delicate music track to create a magical experience that will give your family goosebumps every time they watch it.
Additionally, you will receive your films on a USB stick and a private webpage, allowing them to be watched and shared repeatedly for generations to come.
“When I first saw the Legacy film, I was so impressed. It was incredibly professional & looked like we’d shot a real documentary.”

FAQs.
How long does it take?
We only need one morning with you to film everything.
We’ll share your edited film/s to review within around a week.
I live in a small home - how much space do you need?
I’ve shot many interviews with people in small spaces.
My goal is to be unintrusive so I have a basic, small camera and lights set up with a mic for your collar.
I don’t feel comfortable on camera – what if I make a mistake?
I love listening to the stories and learnings from everyday people.
We go at whatever pace is comfortable and I can delete anything along the way.
It doesn’t usually take long for the stories to start flowing.
Do we have to stick to the agreed questions?
The Premium & Legacy packages have lots of space to add or remove questions to suit you.
And of course, if there’s anyone or a certain time you want to avoid talking about, it’s entirely up to you.
Can I have a support person with me?
Yes – You’re more than welcome to invite a support person to come for the whole interview – as long as they promise not to laugh or cry out loud!
It seems a lot of money to spend on myself.
I understand how you feel – it’s common to prioritize spending on others rather than yourself.
But investing in your story is also a gift to your loved ones. It’s about creating something timeless that your family will cherish for generations – a way to preserve your unique journey, wisdom, and experiences in a way that no other keepsake can.
It’s not just for you. It’s for them too.
Can we break up the payments?
Sure. We can work out a payment plan to break down payments to $1k per month.
How do you supply the final films?
I provide the films on a USB drive. These video files can be shared with anyone who has a computer.
And depending on the package you purchase, you’ll also be provided with a bespoke, private webpage which makes sharing easy.
