INVESTMENT

EVERY STORY IS AS UNIQUE AS THE INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE THEM.

The average investment for a film is about $7,500. Our full range spans from $3,500 to $35,000, depending on the complexity and bespoke requirements of your unique story.

Our service is deeply personalized, designed to capture the essence of a person or family in a way that is as unique as they are. The investment in your family's legacy film reflects the time, creativity, and resources dedicated to telling your story. From the initial blueprint to the final touches, each phase of our process is meticulously crafted to honor your family's journey.

During our initial consultation, we'll discuss the scope of your story and outline a tailored investment that aligns with your vision.

STAGE 1: BLUEPRINT

DESIGNING YOUR STORY

Our first step is to understand and outline your story. Through conversations, we walk you through the process of uncovering of what makes your family unique and identifying key storylines. We outline the questions that your audience will be able to answer about you after watching your film.

Our goal is to create a film that captures the essence of who you are and shares your hopes and dreams with future generations.

Pricing for this phase is influenced by the depth of the initial discovery process, whether you choose to complete a structured questionnaire independently or prefer a guided, in-depth interview session with our team.

STAGE 2: FOUNDATION

LAYING THE NARRATIVE GROUNDWORK

The foundation of our film is the base interview, akin to laying the groundwork for a house. This is where we capture the core narrative, which could come in various forms; an interview, a letter or a script (all of which we will co-create with you, step by step)

Pricing for this phase is influenced by whether you tell your story independently, or dive deeper by incorporating interviews with additional key figures in your life. (Like friends who've stood by you through thick and thin, children who've been the center of your universe, or parents who've shaped your journey — their perspectives can add rich layers to your narrative)

STAGE 3: WALLS

FRAMING THE STORY WITH AUDIO

Just as walls give shape and structure to a house, this stage involves framing your story with rich audio layers. We incorporate natural sounds from home videos, interviews, and other meaningful audio clips that add depth. This step ensures your story is not just told but felt, surrounding the foundational narrative with the textures of real life.

Pricing for this phase is influenced by the variety and sources of audio elements required, such as whether you provide existing audio clips or if we need to create or source additional sound elements.

STAGE 4: FINISHING TOUCHES

DESIGNING YOUR STORY

Just as finishing touches transform a house into a home, this stage is about adding visual elements that enhance and complete your narrative. We carefully select photos and videos that complement the audio and bring your story to life; adding color, emotion, and texture to the framework. This final step ensures your family film is a polished, cohesive piece that beautifully encapsulates your legacy.

Pricing for this phase is influenced by the selection and incorporation of visual elements, including the number of photos and videos used and the need for their restoration or enhancement, and if we are filming modern day moments. For instance, showcasing a grandmother's love for gardening can beautifully mirror her nurturing spirit, instead of using old photos of her gardening, we could film her gardening in present day. We can also capture significant locations that have played a pivotal role in your journey. Whether it's your childhood home, the place you met your spouse, or a favourite vacation spot, revisiting these places can evoke powerful emotions.
