We cover an extensive array of topics in the interview, depending on the package that you and your family decide on. Topics may include:

• Family heritage
• Childhood memories
• School days
• Work life
• Love and relationships
• Marriage and partnerships
• Being a parent
• Raising children
• Historical events
• Religion
• Life now and looking forward
• Most cherished memories
• The best and the worst

We can cover about four topics per hour.

We recommend a minimum of two hours to get a fully rounded picture of your family member’s personal history as well as some insights into your family history. For a more comprehensive interview, then we recommend three hours.

Your video will be approximately 50 minutes long per hour of filming.

During the editing process, we remove the interviewer’s questions and replace them with titles. So for a one-hour video, the finished video will be approximately 50 minutes long, a two-hour video will be approximately 100 minutes long, and a three-hour video will be approximately 150 minutes long.

Yes.  We can also interview up to three separate people – one for each hour.

First, we edit out the professional interviewer’s questions so that the focus stays on your family member.  We then add an opening Title Card as well as any other Title Cards that the video requires for context.

Many families prefer to hear their loved one’s story without music. However, we can add licensed music as part of an add-on service during the titles of the video. 

Our interviewers are experienced and highly skilled listeners who help your family member feel like they’re talking to a friend, or to another family member. They genuinely care about family histories and legacies and will elicit details  from the interview subject that future generations will want to hear. 

For your family member, the interview experience is relaxed and enjoyable. It’s a time of  positive connection, which increases their levels of happiness and satisfaction. When older people have an interested listener talk to them about their stories, it makes them feel loved and valued. This may be especially beneficial in our current climate, when they may feel isolated, alone, and separated from their loving family. 

In reviewing past relationships and events and our behaviors and reactions to them in a non-emotional state, we are able to approach our past with positivity and understanding, which brings wisdom and authenticity, and leads us closer to becoming whole.

Yes, we provide that as an add-on service. 

Sometimes. Refer to our individual packages for details.

Yes, if you need to tell us something about your family member, you’ll have the opportunity to do so when placing your order. Sometimes a family member would rather not talk about a certain period of time in their lives, and we’d love that information in advance.  

We do. 

 Our interviews are either conducted by Jillian Ezra, our founder, or by a member of our storytelling and filmmaking staff. 

You will receive an emailed download link that you can share with friends and family or post to your public or private Vimeo or YouTube accounts.

Approximately 2 weeks.

If other family members want to contribute a message (such as a story about how the interviewee impacted their life, or even just a “Happy Birthday,” or “We love you!”), we provide that as an add-on service. We can interview each family member about the interviewee in 15-minute add-on segments.

As of now, we are only offering digital downloads. We plan to offer physical products in the future. Subscribe to our newsletter to get alerted when that time comes.

Of course! Although we most often create Family Legacy Videos that focus on the members of older generations, family members of all ages have stories to tell. You can create a Legacy video for your kids about their births and early childhood, or about your own personal history. You decide whose stories you want to preserve and pass on so that everyone in your family benefits.
